The question is: WHAT'S THE PATHWAY HERE? On Saturday, June 13, 2009 I was doing live twitter-feeds from
the 300 Anniversary Celebration of Henry Hudson's first voyage
from New York City to Albany, NY up the Hudson River, while aboard the
Albany Aqua Duck, where I met two distinguished visitors
from Ecuador - Nevaldo and Olindo.
http://75grand.posterous.com/fiesta-henry-hudson-400-de-albany-ny-y-rio-hu Using TweetCall, I had them post their twitter-feeds via my cellphone.
They did so in Spanish, their native language. As has happened previously,
the twitter-feeds did not show up immediately. In fact, they just showed
up today, Friday June 26, 2009. Where have they been for the past 13 days? Do the posts get sent to some offshore location for transcription and translation?
I do know this: TweetCall uses the service QuickTate to do the voice to text
transcription. Does TweetCall divert the foriegn language input to another source?
Or does QuickTate outsource the transcription to a translation service?
The input, on twitter is tagged TweetCall. The notification, in my email, is from
QuickTate - but this is standard practice for all my TweetCall live twitter-feed posts.
Ordinarily, cellphone generated tweets are posted within two minutes, or less. Just wondering... Jan [aka: 75Grand] From: Quicktate Message Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:02:05 -0500
