Hi Folks,

I need some help with an Android app for the hearing impaired.
Essentially, the app is to be used with a wearable android device
(Google Glasses or theSony android wrist watch) and will listen for
sounds such as the door bell or the tty, or any other household
soundthat should be reported to the wearer.

Capturing the sound using an Android device is not the problem. What I
don't know is how to compare the incoming sound stream with sound
signatures that should cause the event to occur.  Once the event occurs,
then text can be displayed on the googleglasses or the haptic transducer
on the wrist watch can be activated.

This app is intended to be open sourceso I'm looking for volunteer help
on the algorithms.  I will do the programming.

Regards

David Glaser

We are having a WLUG meeting this evening, December 12, at 7:00 PM in
the WPI Campus Center, Mid-Century Room 331.

http://www.wpi.edu/Admin/CC/Floorplans/37678.htm

This seems like a good time to talk about the WLUG website.  We've had
half-completed plans since about 2 years ago to replace the hardware
and software to create a Wiki or Drupal site to replace the outdated
and manually-maintained-by-me HTML site.  This week I plan to finally
migrate things over to the new server, but the content will still be
the old HTML site for now.  We need some volunteers to help build a
new site in either MediaWiki or Drupal or some other framework.

After the meeting, we'll continue discussions over at Tech Pizza.

Hope to see you there,
Chuck

We've got some smart folks on this list, no doubt, but it might serve
you better to ask this question in a more focused forum.  Try
http://www.reddit.com/r/DSP/ for starters.

Good luck!
