Booke vs switchedOn For Teams

Intelligent way to read books

The Booke skill for Amazon Alexa offers a game-changing way to help people apply what they read in books to their lives by adding intelligent, digital features to a paper book.

First of all, Booke will help you pick something to read that will align with what’s going on in your life. Then the skill will enhance your reading experience by keeping track of and saving the important parts of what you’re reading, and where you're at in the book. Best of all, Booke will give you a regular digest while reading, as well as an actionable, beautifully designed summary that captures the essence of the book at the end of a reading in a highly effective and easy-to-recall format you can read or listen to.

WHAT MAKES BOOKE UNIQUE?

Booke is an innovative blend of print/digital and AI technologies that lets readers retain more from what they read and helps them learn things that they can apply in their life to grow. Booke is unique because you don’t have to sacrifice the touch and smell of a printed book to search for a term, keep track of what you’re reading, effectively work with a text, or collect the best quotes–for example by saving them to Evernote. Just talk to search, find, bookmark, share and more.

switchedOn is a secure team messaging app, but unlike other work chat, teams can link to their existing email providers like Gmail or Microsoft Exchange. Email gets an upgrade with annotated tasks which are integrated into the traditional email readers. Users can direct tasks to specific @colleagues through team messages, while the real-time task manager gives updates on progress and completion within team onBoards – a centralized layer of cloud data from email, chat, tasks, docs, and events. No task goes ignored.

switchedOn is a Singapore and US-based team communications startup. The one-year-old company launched their website switchedOn.com in March 2015, is launching beta-testing in May 2015, and is currently accepting testers.

The company's founder, Jason Collins, hatched the idea over a year ago while tagging his own overcrowded inbox at a software company in San Francisco. switchedOn is Jason's fifth startup. The American entrepreneur was an early engineer at Wily Technology, enterprise software pioneer in the IT Application Performance Management (APM) space, which was acquired by CA Technologies for $400M. Jason now has a small team of developers in Budapest and Singapore.
