Golden Speak (http://www.goldenspeak.com) helps you speak better by analyzing your voice for pitch, rhythm, vocab, fillers, and clarity. We'd like to talk about launching minimum features quickly vs. high user expectations that people have from apps like facebook, etc. Does it make sense to focus more on polish instead of launching within an almost embarrassing feature set?

I believe to be one of your target demographics (international students, thick accent) and I would definitely pay for a service like yours.

Focus on delivering a polished products that can deliver, I will try your product only once and if your product's quality convince me that there is an opportuntity to improve my speaking skills I will literally throw money at you.

Could Golden Speak be used to correct non native speakers with their accents? I have a (very) strong French accent when speaking English and I could use a tool like that.

My View: The smallest amount of features that will add value.
