In this episode of From Idea to Done, we talk about what Suman decided to do with his weekend. It turns out that he made another app, but this time it involves NATO phonetics.

E: Hey Everyone, I'm Josh and I'm Erick and I’m Suman

E: Today's Idea is: What are we going to do on the weekend? Suman thank you for being in on another episode. We were kind of chatting the other week about what we are going to do the weekend. Your response is, you were going to learn to swim, or develop an app. The big question is. Did you learn to swim?

Suman. No

Josh: What did you do instead?

Suman: I made an app that translates normal words into nato phonetics 

Josh: Wait… what the heck is nato phoenetics??

Suman: It is like… where the alphabet has its own word….

Josh: Hold on, i’ll look it up…...

Erick: So last weekend I went swimming. Learning still has to be at least somewhere on your list isn’t it?

Suman: Yes

Josh: The NATO phonetic alphabet, officially denoted as the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet, and also commonly known as the ICAO phonetic alphabet, and in a variation also known officially as the ITU phonetic alphabet and figure code, is the most widely used radiotelephone spelling alphabet. 

Suman: Actually it means that A is translated to Alpha, B is translated to Bravo.

Josh: Ah that makes more sense than what i read off Wikipedia, If you don’t get around to swimming what is your next random side project?

Suman: The Suman Chat bot.

Erick: That makes sense because you talk soooooo much.  Just so you know the pool downtown is closing relatively soon. You might want to get on that swimming before the disgusting cold comes back. Thanks Suman for coming on, and being our guest again.

Suman: You’re welcome. 

Josh: Thank you for listening to this episode, if you know a startup that could use our random advice and thoughts have them subscribe and leave a review on iTunes.
