This is something I’d love to build but don’t have time. I was talking to a police officer a couple months ago and he was telling me the difficulties they have dealing with people that speak no English during emergency situations (someone’s bleeding out).
They have a language service they can use but it’s
slow to loop another person in. They end up resorting to Google Translate which is also kinda slow to type in their questions. The voice to text feature is finicky too.
What he wants is a website / app with a series of pre recorded questions. The answers are simple yes / no nods. This could potentially save someone’s life.
I honestly think this should be a free website. But if you’re looking to start a business it could be a great way to build credibility in the space.
Great questions, I’m not sure. If I were approaching this I’d try to partner with a police officer as the domain expert.
I imagine it wouldn’t be hard to find someone interested in helping - most people love talking about their problems. Maybe join some Facebook groups? Or get in touch with your local precinct?

Would you make this purely for local law enforcement and first responders? What questions would be the highest priority for the use case?
Would you also have domain specific use cases as well?
