I developed some software that improves on how you find text in documents, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zizoaped950. It's a major usability improvement and I expected someone like Microsoft, Apple, Mozilla, or Google to have done something similar by now. (I released the first version 5 years ago. Apple did it to some extent when they started animating the display of found text, but that’s only a small piece of it.)1) Is there any way I could make money off this?
2) If not, is there any easy way I could get a big player to "steal" the idea to benefit users (with very little work on my part)?
I started the project for fun but now I want to create a viable startup and I’ve stopped working on it. But it would be nice if I could do something with it.
