Images received, deadlines looming, happy days

Happy to post that Ology Interactive recently received a few gigabytes of images from Bilby Publishing over the weekend. The AusSign platform will get a bit of a design revamp, with a few extra features at Bilby’s request, and with their gorgeous images, and a completely new database, I now have a 2~3 week period in which to apply all the necessary changes before submitting to the store. We are now aiming for the app to be commercially ready and submitted to Apple in July. I suppose that means in the iTunes store by August?

Watch this space.

Ology’s AusSign nears Beta

http://ologyinteractive.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/aussign-nears-beta/

Ology Interactive is nearing beta testing for AusSign, a platform for a mobile dictionary of images and signs.

It might be some time before our dictionary is released to the market, but when it happens it will have a scale and quality unsurpassed by others.

We’ve been working hard on the algorithms that drive the data sorting and categorisation, in addition to efficient search routines which allow users to have that amazingly smooth experience they’ve come to expect from an iPhone. Needless to say, a lot of effort goes into making something happen flawlessly.

As the saying goes, “its like ducks on a pond; above the water, everything is smooth and graceful as they glide across the surface; under the water, legs are waving frantically about, flapping back and forth”.
