I have a similar idea, because I'm unlikely to actually record all my metrics after a workout.

My current solution is to take one picture of the machine's output display per workout, then I (hopefully) add them to a Workout album.

What I'd like to do is have an app which scans these photos and pulls the numbers out to log them and draw graphs automagically.

So it would only target cardio machines, correct? I haven't included any support for cardio machines yet, mostly because I didn't think a voice interface could improve the process of logging a cardio workout. One thing is that the type of cardio that you're doing would have to be provided some other way -- I think it'd be nearly impossible to extract the type of machine that you're using from a photo, although picking out the workout details from a photo of the display should be possible.

You're correct. I'd also like to experiment with what could be done wirelessly as well -- I notice the ZigBee protocol is quite popular in fitness & healthcare. Have you explored that at all?
