Aaron, this video is priceless, I really want to say thanks for putting these out here free. I would be interested in chatting with you a few minutes if you ever have the time. I just bought Ubot and feel quite lost, but I’m learning slowly.

I was going to do something like that but the problem that you will have and I was trying to avoid is the wait time for it to translate. Also if it translates wrong it could cause a problem.

Not to mention this was a paid job and they wanted it in French. ;0

Glad you are liking the videos and if you get UBot Studio Im sure you will love it. The idea of automating what we do online is great and the software has a pretty short learning curve.

Hello Aaron.

Just finished watching your “UBot Product Scraping Tutorial”. I must say, I was quite impressed. Although I am a complete noob when it comes to scraping, bots, etc. I am very interested in anything “automation” and making my life easier.

I had an idea while watching this tutorial. As the site is all in French, what if you used a translator like Googles or something similar and had an English version opened in a new window. That way you could at least have an idea what it was you were looking at.

Obviously you would have to use the French version to make the bot, but it might make it simpler if you had a clue as to what some of the items were.

Just a thought. Like I said, I am totally inexperienced when it comes to this sort of thing. But finding this site has really peaked my interest.
