![]() Now, as someone who creates educational resources, you’d have to have a bit of a background working in the education industry, right? Oh, I feel that! I definitely miss living in QLD. Given the choice, I would prefer to live in NSW where most of my relatives and friends are or QLD because I am a tropical girl at heart. My partner is from Melbourne so that’s the reason why I live here. What prompted your move to Melbourne, Australia? Kit, you were born and raised in Manilla in the Philippines. She has built her business from the ground up, creating educational resources for students and teachers all across the globe. Though we’ve never met in person, we keep in touch via social media channels and I love seeing updates about how her education-based business is flourishing. Joining me today is someone I’ve worked with remotely in the past who I bonded with over a mutual love of Harry Potter. Once a month I’ll be sitting down with a fellow creative and/or small business owner and/or someone I think deserves a little recognition for the awesome work they’ve put into reaching their goals. I’m launching the iScribe Creative ‘Creative Corner’ series. If you’re interested in that, I know he’d like to talk to you.Well, hi everyone! Today I’m going to be doing something I’ve been wanting to do for a loooong time now. Guys like Wilfred need seed capital to get going, to buy the time to create those first apps where they can begin seeing cash flow. To keep up to date with Wilfred and African Pixels, follow him on Twitter, African Pixel on Facebook and the blog. Wilfred is currently working on a second application, one that he started in August which has even more potential than iScribe. That’s the idea anyway, and it’s encouraging to see that he’s doing it from here, realizing that the web/mobile world means that you can do this anywhere. I know he’s interested in building more applications that he can sell on the iPhone app store and the Android marketplace. ![]() ![]() This is one application, something that should make some residual income for Wilfred. These are mostly minor issues though, nothing which makes iScribe unusable. There are some user experience items where the user needs feedback on when they pushed a button and if something is happening. I did push most of this post from there, but the images didn’t work right, nor was I able to add links. The pushing to a WordPress blog is where there are a few shortcomings. Send Wilfred your feedback on how it can be made better or if you find a bug. Go ahead and give this first iteration of iScribe a try. Here’s Wilfred giving a walk through of the application: This is especially useful as few people write solely for themselves. “How does it work? Simply, type text, take photos or videos, press a button to record and play back audio recordings, save your stuff, press another button to share online or by email and voila!”īesides the simple journaling and multimedia capabilities iScribe entries can be emailed or pushed to a blog. While I’ve been actively involved providing feedback to Wilfred on the app, I’ve had to constantly remind myself not to ask for more features. A way for you to write a journal entry quickly, and then add images, video or audio if you so choose. It’s the tool I’m using to write this post as it pushes to WordPress. His first application is iScribe ( iTunes link), a simple tool for writing a journal on your phone. ![]() This company is called African Pixel, and Wilfred is well on his way to becoming a mobile app developer of some note, regardless of the fact that he lives in Kenya. Wilfred’s big idea was to open up a small company where his main goal was to create mobile phone applications for platforms like the iPhone and Android operating systems. In the Summer of 2009 I was approached by Wilfred Mworia, a talented programmer in Nairobi.
