Project Summary

Halcyon Mobile developed a native iOS companion app that connects Apple's speech recognition to a translation environment, enabling dictation and voice commands. They also handled QA and provided management and launch advice. The delivered app is stable, functions as expected, and the vendor communicated responsively and met schedules.

Key Challenges

Lack of internal mobile development expertise for the product
Need to convert a working prototype into a market-ready app
Extend dictation support to many more languages beyond existing paid desktop tools

Project Deliverables

Native iOS application
Quality assurance
Launch and management guidance

Project Solution

Halcyon Mobile analyzed the prototype, user stories, and designs, then developed a native iOS application and performed QA. They provided professional advice on project management and launch, assigned a project manager as main contact, and staffed a small team of developers/testers to meet capacity and availability needs.

Project Outcome

The application is stable and functions as expected.
The vendor provided responsive communication, timely delivery, and effective collaboration, including native Hungarian speakers to simplify communication.
