OK this is was I thought, but wanted to make sure. (Perhaps they should remove the word "prototype" from their marketing material as it is a bit confusing.)

Being able to do this is what makes RR even more interesting. I like the idea of delagating heavy processing stuff to another language. (But then again I have read that transcript is actually quite fast.)

(I am very new to all this so I may have missed something. If I have please point me in the right direction.)

I am very excited about the possibilities, I still need to learn more about it though.

I would like to thank everyone for their kind replies,
