We're working on adding reports, especially transcripts.  We're hoping
to have complete transcripts for the April release.  Reports can be
laid out using a HTML-like markup language.  If you have examples of
the kind of reports you need, we can try to replicate them.

One of our core developers, Douglas Cerna, is El Salvadoran and can
also help you in Spanish.

Don't hesitate if you have more questions.
