It sounds like a cool product. So I suppose you could also do just subtitles?

Maybe the need for voice translations does not emerge that often, because in most cases, if you are interested in a certain field, you either know the language already, or it is really niche. For example IT conference talks - most people would already speak English, even if they are not native speakers.

However, not being a native speaker of English myself, at times I would wish for subtitles because some speakers are hard to understand.

Karaoke is also REALLY big, I should think.

We are actually repositioning eLive as eDole: the first social Karaoke webservice. Imagine: you just have the largest music catalog for cover songs EVER : Youtube :D And the subtitles thing is definitely a good point. Thanks so much folks !

Perhaps you could take it one step further from karaoke and put an American Idol spin on it. Competitions, prizes, Internet fame. If you could somehow pull in a celebrity partner or sponsor, this could become an even greater possibility.

LOL, this is what we talked just an hour ago with my CTO! I'm happy one of you guys raised this up, makes me more confident :) eDole or eDol is a good name :p
