Hi Stef, We are not throwing away anything. The goal is not to produce a new model, the goal is to find one that matches the requirements. We already learnt a lot from TxText, but it has limitations in how to deal with things that are not only text.
We have no intention of producing an unfinished text model :). This is a critical component for us. Please let us work for a couple of months and we get back with news.
