thank you! I can clearly see the interest among people now! I will think what's the best strategy. Definitely be releasing the core algo open source, need to prepare, figure out what's the best way to do it. Thanks again!

I am definite considering releasing the algorithm, it's currently in C++. But I want to build something on top of it first, so that its application can attract more attention. I've tried releasing the "algorithms" before

It is really hard with FFT to get a good frequency representation. I've described a bit more on the app website why on front page. It's basically like deciding whether you want to detect the frequencies well, and loose time resolu

Interesting idea about transforming colour to sound! P.S. I am red-green colourblind too :) Although, I don't find it a problem.

On the topic of recognition though, I think it would be much easier to implement speech recognition using the core algorithm used here, rather than from FFT for example. I'm only at the beginning of trying to use the frequency detectio

I am not sure it would be possible to visually recognise speech, but might help people with hearing difficulties to perceive a concert better or something. Funny think about birds! Yesterday, as I was preparing to release the app, birds wer

Ha ha, is it? No :) It's just my simple attempt on visualisation. The core feature is the better frequency detection. I want to make better visualisations later :)

I also thought this might be useful for people who have problems perceiving some frequencies (maybe all?), to just see the sound. I am not sure what is the correct way to call people who have trouble hearing, but I am really wondering if th

Ideally, I would like to make something else based on this algorithm that would allow me to leave my work first. Like maybe some fancy 2D/3D visualisations. I want to then open-source the core algorithm. Maybe I should do it sooner tho

Thank you! I am really happy!!

I figured out that I've implemented a real-time wavelet transform while I was doing this... :) I tried and couldn't find any good apps that would use it to display real-time analysis of sound, so I made one. Actually, I was workin

Hi! I made this app in my spare time off work... I described the motivation on the website. Please let me know any feedback! Would really appreciate it.

I miss my Far Manager, working on Linux now... Just remembering how quickly I was doing stuff in directory structure, people couldn't even follow with their eyes...

That always baffles me with HSBC when they call and ask for personal information like DOB or other to confirm the identity. (The calls were legitimate.) I always tell them I won't provide the information, and then they ask me to call b

Exactly! I don't understand why they want to censor this, it shows how people can actually accept a scientific method through experimentation...

The author read the bible first (or maybe he was read to as a child), then subconsciously recited stories from it in his writings. That's my explanation. No the Biblical mysticism he proposes.

He commented (in the article) that he is delighted the resolution has been found and that "it can be explained in two sentences".

It's amazing. Not that I'm interested in Polish composers specifically. If you could find a way to generate these for different fields (mathematicians in specific domains, machine learning researchers, electronic musicians in diff

I’m one such person. There is still a line in the middle, so it’s ok.
