So first of all a few complaints about computers processing voice commands in general. They’re always listening to someone else and not me. My volume is loud. My hearing is not great. So the people in the other room get loud. But I still can’t hear them. So I can’t grunt back at them, or whatever polite response I’m supposed to make, because I don’t have the first clue what they’re saying. My computer seems to though. When I’m playing video games, for example, I can see things on the screen that seem to respond to conversations in the other room. My family is always annoyed because I return to the living room after using my computer and know what they were talking about, when in fact I heard nothing. Evidently I got enough info off facebook, or something my video game showed, or something visual, to have some context about what was going on and when would be a good time to enter, even though I did not in fact hear their conversation.
So on that note… I also am not, purposefully, making noises in response to my computer. What would be the point? I can’t tell what is going on in my environment to comment on.
I am not actually deaf. I actually only have mild hearing loss, no hearing aids. In a one on one conversation between someone and me, I can have a perfectly fine face to face conversation. It’s trying to discuss something with the whole room passive-agressively that fails (and the reason I don’t have polite words for this is that even as a child I had borderline mild hearing loss, so I learned about this dynamic later in life…)
So more specifically on the topic in this video… these audio sounds do not in fact sound normal to me at 6:18. Nobody I know speaks that softly when I’m in the car. I can’t understand a single word they’re saying, whether or not there’s car noise, though technically I can hear that there is sound.
Just FYI.
