Time Travel: 2014

Compared with the normal mode, the professional mode naturally has many privileges.

first. In professional mode, extra long content can be input.

A previous comment stated that news materials need to be cut and entered in sections.

Such troubles will become a thing of the past with the advent of permission to input long content.

Of course, in professional mode, users can not only input super long news materials.

You can also choose the length of the output summary.

The abstract length can be switched between three levels: 100 words and 200 words.

In fact, if the core algorithm in the software uses the third generation of generative summary algorithm.

You can even choose to output a summary of 500 words or 1000 words.

If you really want to be able to output 500-word and 1,000-word abstracts, I'm afraid it won't be so friendly to a small number of journalists.

But after all, technological progress pushing society forward is a good thing.

It is impossible to stand still just because the interests of a small group of people are harmed.

Of course, these are all things for later.

After users of the Nanfeng APP are updated, they will be able to choose whether to turn on the professional mode in the software.

Of course, users will still have to pay if they choose to turn on professional mode.

As for the professional mode of Nanfeng APP, how much does it cost?

Although Lin Hui has not conducted professional market research, he can just cross the river by following his peers.

Lin Hui searched for the Ya/Hu News (Processing) Professional Edition mentioned by a commenter in the Nanfeng APP comment area just now.

Unexpectedly, I discovered that a one-month membership of Ya/hoo News (Processing) Professional Edition costs US$99.99, and the software cannot be used without recharging.

Even if you are a full member, you will not be able to process Chinese news materials if you do not choose the US$999 Chinese processing package.

From a technical point of view, this approach is understandable. After all, the extractive summarization algorithm used by Yahoo's professional processing software is not good at processing Chinese information. It is normal that Chinese news cannot be processed without selecting the corresponding Chinese processing package.

But this would be a miserable situation for domestic journalists. In order to process Chinese news, it would cost US$2,198.88 per year, which is equivalent to more than 13,000 RMB.

However, even after the user has paid all this, the maximum number of Chinese news materials input at a time is still limited to 20,000 words.

It is incomparable to the single input of 50,000 words in Lin Hui's development software.

It’s not that there are 30,000 more words.

The problem is that many Chinese manuscripts are basically 25,000 words.

yah00 set the word limit to 20,000 words, which can be said to be deliberately disgusting.

Of course, it is also possible that 20,000 words is the limit that their algorithm can handle.

Even if it’s just a 20,000-word summary, yah00 actually doesn’t understand it.

Many people in the comment area of ​​Lin Hui’s yah00 software reported that the software often made errors in Chinese news summary content.

Journalists are often required to proofread the news a second time.

The most critical thing is that the news processing software of yah00 sometimes requires users to purchase a Chinese language processing upgrade package that costs about 100 to 150 US dollars.

This is obviously to allocate the cost of corresponding algorithm development to software users.

It can be said to be very shameless. In this way, the actual cost for Chinese journalist users to use it per year is not to mention 13,000, it is very likely that the price is close to 20,000.

Why would anyone pay for such an extremely unfriendly software?

The answer is simple - monopoly.

However, the monopoly of yah00 has basically become history with the emergence of Nanfeng APP.

After such research, pricing the professional version is actually very easy.

Lin Hui set the price of the professional mode at 19,999 yuan.

Although it seems that the price is similar to that abroad.

But Lin Hui’s price is a buyout price, not an annual fee.

Moreover, Lin Hui is confident that Nanfeng APP’s professional model will lead similar competitors in two years.

In this way, the average user only needs less than 10,000 per year, which is very conscientious compared to the fees charged by foreign software.

Although the price of 20,000 yuan is a bit expensive alone, it cannot be measured by the price of regular APPs.

This is the price of professional mode. How can professional software be cheaper?

Moreover, the professional mode does not require users to pay for it themselves. Under normal circumstances, it is reimbursed/reimbursed by the unit.

What? The unit does not reimburse/reimburse?

Dear, I suggest you find an employer that can reimburse you.

Ahem, just kidding. Even if other units do not reimburse/reimburse, there are almost no news units that do not reimburse.

After all, every employee has a powerful weapon in public opinion.

There can't really be a boss who can't think so hard.

Although the professional mode set price is close to 20,000.

But in fact, it is unrealistic for Lin Hui to make a small profit through this.

If it were really that easy to make 100 million.

What kind of games do major manufacturers make? They just develop professional software.

Different from the universality of Nanfeng APP, the professional model of Nanfeng APP actually targets a very small group of people.

There are more than 200,000 journalists in our country. According to the nature of their work, journalists are divided into text reporters, photojournalists, broadcast reporters, television reporters, and online reporters;

Among journalists, only text reporters and some online reporters are usually involved in a large number of news summaries and text information processing.

And the proportion of such people among all journalists may not even be 5%.

And how many of these 5% of people can accept modern software processing methods?

How many people who can accept modern processing methods will choose Nanfeng APP?

Lin Hui estimated that the professional audience of Nanfeng APP's professional model in China was only two to three thousand people.

And even if these people pay all the bills, Lin Hui will only earn 40 to 50 million.

However, considering Lin Hui's current financial situation, there is no need to worry about gains and losses.

After Lin Hui mastered the professional mode.

Upload the new version of the software to the AppStore and it will be approved quickly.

After that, Lin Hui received a call from Huang Jing.

The two of them didn't talk at length on the phone, they just chatted for a short while and then hung up the phone.

Huang Jing congratulated Lin Hui Nanfeng APP on her achievements on the phone.

Lin Hui responded politely.

It's not surprising that Huang Jing knew that Lin Hui had opened a new app.

The so-called opening of a new vest is only for AppStore users, not for the AppStore official.

In addition, Huang Jing also asked Lin Hui on the phone if he had been in the Northern Territory recently.

The information revealed by Huang Jing surprised Lin Hui.

Huang Jing is coming to Beiyu City.

According to Huang Jing, it is because of the Apple platform exclusivity agreement.

Lin Hui remembered that Huang Jing had mentioned this agreement before.

However, there are so many things going on recently that Lin Hui almost forgot about the Apple exclusive agreement.

It’s really troublesome when you think about it. Wouldn’t it be better to sign the contract directly online?

Thinking about offline contracts is troublesome.

But fortunately, if the platform sends someone over, at least Lin Hui won't need to go to the Magic City in person.
