MindMeld | Smarter Way to have Conversations | Expect Labs

Many a times it happens that you are on a phone call with someone and discussing on a topic you’re unfamiliar with. What do you do in that case? Mostly you would lie and pretend to be familiar with that topic.

Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a piece of software that could analyze your conversations in real time and pull pertinent information so you’re always in the know? 

Expect Labs, a technology company based in San Francisco is coming up with a iPad app called  MindMeld, which analyzes and understands the last 10 minutes of your conversation to predict the information you may need in the next 10 seconds.

Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) exercise to be launched from Andhra Pradesh

Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is all set to kick start the most ambitious project of India -- distribution of unique identification numbers to its 1.2 billion people.

Andhra Pradesh has been chosen for the launch of this unique exercise and they hope to start out as early as the first week of September.

Unlike in the Census, there will be no knocking at doors. Instead, enrollment officials will set up stations in different parts of Andhra Pradesh and turn to their kits.

Kits will contain eight essentials — an iris scanner, a fingerprint machine, a camera, a laptop, a computer screen linked to the laptop, an Internet data card, a pen drive and a printer.

The laptop will contain a bilingual software (English and the local language) that runs the whole ID process. The software links to the iris machine, fingerprint machine, camera, recording biometric data and a photograph. The second computer screen is purely for the client who, in the interest of complete transparency, can watch exactly what is being recorded.The software contains a transliteration device so that data entries like names and addresses need be typed in only one language. Eventually, the data will be transmitted to the UIDAI database via the Internet where there will be a de-duplication process after which an unique ID number will be issued. The client will get a printout of the details at the end of the process.
