IHSIM vs Clouds Flashcards

IMPAIRED HEARING SIMULATION (IHSIM) This app performs separate simulations of acoustic hearing loss and cochlear implant processing. These simulations process the audio input from the iOS device in real-time. In the acoustic hearing loss simulation, a user can achieve custom spectral filtering based on a listener's audiogram. Six presets are also provided of common audiogram functions. A dynamic range compressor is included, along with a frequency smearing algorithm to flatten the signal's spectrum and perform subtle pitch modulation. In the cochlear implant simulation, a filterbank vocoder is implemented. The number of frequency bands is selectable, along with the carrier signal (noise or sine wave vocoder), the frequency divisions (Logarithmic or Greenwood function), and the overall bandwidth. Electric-only and "hybrid" acoustic-electric cochlear implants are modeled. Several monaural and binaural stimulation options are selectable. HEADPHONES AND SENNHEISER SMART AMBEO HEADSET This app was created as part of the Sennheiser Developers Program for the Smart AMBEO Headset. The app is capable of processing a stereo input signal, taking advantage of the "augmented reality" features of the headset. The app is also fully-functional using a conventional set of headphones with a mono microphone input. It is highly recommended to use headphones of some type with the app. FOR RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES The intended use of the app is for auditory perception research. The app may have additional educational purposes related to hearing loss. The app should not be used for medical purposes. INFORMATION Resources related to the app are available at: hackaudio.com

Language learning requires study. I was disappointed with the flash card apps that were available, so I decided to write my own. I have been studying French for 20 years, I don't know why, but I want to learn French. I can never remember the genders of the nouns. In this app, I made it so gendered nouns have colors, and it works, now when I remember a noun, I can see the flash card it was on, and I know by the color what gender it is. If you are more of an auditory learner, I added sounds that are played before the word is pronounced. There are a variety of sounds (and colors) and you can assign what you associate with the gender. I made a travel mode that plays each set on repeat. You can have the words spoken, or not. You can practice answering. You can write in your answer, or speak it. You can get a clue, if you want. These are all options you can turn off. And if you would like, you can score points. 1 point for each card you study once per hour, and 10 points for filling out a correct answer, once per day, up to 10 times. I'll add some features as I think of them, or if they are requested, but for now, it's time to stop working on the app, and get back to studying French. https://cloudsflashcards.com/privacypolicy https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula
