Thank you, Ronnie, Amit and Jonathan!

Ronnie - This is all so cool. Nice to be in touch again. I remember your work with CaptionMaker. How are you and your team in Brazil today? I was just looking at one of the videos you sent us - here is a screen capture of captions next to videos of the news in Brazil - it is quite beautiful. What is your project doing today, Ronnie?
