Transcriptor is a pseudo-modal editor for transcribing. This modal nature is optimised to accelerate the correction of speech-to-text transcripts. This optimisation was based on a statistical model we created for the most common speech-to-text errors weighted by the time it takes to correct them. Transcribers that have been using it have told us that it makes transcribing faster and more comfortable.

It’s possible to encrypt the transcripts while still allowing to share them with collaborators, it's also possible to use local recordings without uploading them to the server. This makes Transcriptor ideal for working with sensitive information.

We’ve created a short-lived link that allows to try it in demo mode. www.inopinia.com/sharing-companies/transcriptor/4pz2jVzGA2m3wg

Finally Transcriptor is the first project of “Sharing Companies” a different take in the sharing economy where companies share so people profit instead of the other way round. You can learn more about it here www.inopinia.com/sharing-companies. We want to release several other projects in the coming months that will also be part of this initiative, if you are interested on following this you can write to us at info@inopinia.com. We are also looking for NGOs to collaborate with :)

However, I'd prefer to avoid this company becoming a traditional one, focused on maximizing profit. I'd like to dedicate my energies to make it create as much "social value" as possible, but going through the traditional investor route would mean closing this path.

What I'd like to do is to give most benefits of the company back to society rather than the owners [1]. Because of this, I'd need to find socially conscious investors that would be ok with capped returns.

How I could find in a short notice this kind of sources of investment? I don't live in a country where there's an abundance of investors, let alone "socially responsible investors".

[1] How to do this in the most effective way is out of the scope of this Ask HN, even if I think it's the most interesting part of what we'd be doing
