Bernie's Notes
I have a free offer that
I hope you'll find of interest.
I'm looking for a transportation organization interested in using QR Codes that would connect with audio messages. I've seen many transport applications
for QR Codes but have seen few that use audio. I believe there could be some interesting ways to use a
voice message in conjunction with a QR Code. If you'd like to explore this further please send me an
email. I'm willing to donate my
time to pilot some examples.
