I think some people need to get that program to hear better.
Because they live in places that English is not a native language to.. If you go to China or France, I doubt most people there are as fluent, but that doesn't mean they're dumb. Please be more understanding…
And you would do well to follow the same advice.
Yeah but this is an international thing, there's bound to be people who don't speak fluent english
Have you been to places like India, China or Russia? Even if there are people who are inventors, they still socialize with other people who don't know english. I live in Singapore, some of the older citizens speak chinese exclusively, with the younger generation (Mine) speaking good english. It's all about the background. :)
nice profile picture but i think mine did it better :P
app increíble! Que grande JUJUY – ARGENTINA !
It's not publicly available yet.
You don't have to speak fluently to invent something or program… Have you ever been in a non-English speaking country? Do you speak another language? If so, are you fluent in that language? Think about that before judging ;)
You are self centered because you lack empathy and don't know how to be nice, "Why can't anyone in Imagine Cup speak understandable English!?" you said, now i ask, "Why should they?"
If you are really trying to understand them, would it hurt for you to ask nicely? Manners matter, and this is why you get all the hate.
Thank you for creating this app, I must look into it. I have a hearing loss in my right ear.
I understood him just fine, but then again I'm not an ignorant American who has never traveled to other countries or been exposed to different accents.
"Gotten in English"
…
Please look up "grammar" via google.
Thanks.
fuck u JooJoona
Wow! No tenía ni idea que compatriotas mios habían creado una app tan buena! Ojala nuestro país incentivara más esto!
To all the really polite people saying he is hard to understand, I understand what you mean, I had a German math professor in college, luckily she was very patient & repeated herself a lot, but practice makes perfect & by the end of the class I had no difficulty in understanding her :)
Just practice listening to people with a thick accents, it works, I promise.
dafuq….. I can't understand shiii…
Ok from what I understand, these are wireless headphones which use the phone's mic as the hearing aid…2 problems with this…1: You need to keep the phone with you throughout the day everywhere you go. 2: It would have been easier to put a mic on the headphones and use the app to configure those.
You need u-sound
To ThatBulgarian,
3: Adding on to the fact that it's a good idea, but it's basicaly a live, real-time recording system and EQ, you can do that yourself for the same effect
i really love how healthy and respectful the dnews staff is
I really love this idea this is what I keep telling people that I can hear better if the earphones were enhanced, at 71 and as a person who is going deaf I have tried to find something like this. If they are asking support or help to test this I'm very willing. I have Nest systems in my home to alert me to smoke and Carbon Monoxide via my I phone. I also use a door bell / intercom to answer the door thru the I phone so I'm used to carrying the phone with me all the time. To add one more use would not bother me at all. This is very exciting to me. And your correct Erinidk.
good luck
If a person is born deaf, which language do they think in?
Do a show on it …. :D
I'm Deaf wich app is that ?
Εγώ βασικά προτείνω το Hear Clear Pro 2. Το έκανα δώρο στη γιαγιά μου και δεν το ξανάβγαλε από το αυτί της.
