Jeff, I will look at reddit forums. However, I am hoping for someone local for beer and pizza based information interchange. Face to face bandwidth is really fast. -David =================== From: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Date: Wed Dec 12 08:33:35 CST 2012 To: David Glaser <dglaser@glaserresearch.net>, Worcester Linux Users Group <wlug@mail.wlug.org> Subject: Re: [Wlug] Need some help with digital signal processing ...

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.
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! Jeff
