We decided to try and see if Siri can hear our deaf voice! Does it work? Watch and see! Facebook: / katieandsamideafyoutube Instagram: / katieandsamideafyoutube
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT MOUTH SHAPES SO YOU ARE HALFWAY THERE. THERE ARE SOME SOUNDS THAT COME FROM THE BACK OF YOUR TONGUE AND YOUR THROAT THAT YOU HAVE NOT LEARNED YET. OVERALL, NOT BAD. YOUR SPEAKING SKILLS ARE PROBABLY BETTER THAN MY ASL SKILLS.
Seems to me like Samantha struggles the most with the hard K/C sound. Like the C in call and the C in Nicole. It's understandable since that sound is made at the back of the throat and can't really be seen... if that makes any sense.
8:30 don't say your voice isn't understandable!! it is understandable to me, maybe not a solid 100%, but definitely enough to comprehend. siri can't even understand hearing people that well, so please do not put down yourself and your hard work.
Honestly I think the only reason it didn’t get the ‘how are you’ is because of your accent, not your voice! 😂 I understood that perfectly. I’m assuming you’re from Northern Ireland by the sound of your accent?
@@katieandsami1840 I am from Virginia in the south 🇺🇸 and I can understand both of you clearly and even though I am not hearing impaired that much she still has difficulty with my accent. Best of luck. Y’all seem amazing. Great video 🤓🤗
You guys should make an app that recognizes deaf voices that would be so good and guarantee it’s not already out and made yet. You guys can be the first one
You girls are so much fun. I just found you on RU-vid today. I subscribed! My whole family is deaf, or HH. Four generations, at least. My mom, her mom. Grama's 2 sisters, my son, cousins. My mom had 8 kids. Four born deaf, and 4 became deaf or HH. I will watch more videos now. Have a great week. Oh, I am American, so we use ASL, which is a little different. I don't care. It's all interesting and fun.
Hey Katie, although I never met a deaf person and my explanation might not be as accurate as in my native language, I think I can help to improve the sound of your F. Let me try. The reason why it sounds like a P is because it makes a popping sound. You need to push air through your lips and teeth and then divide those two components relatively gentle. The longer you're pushing the air, the clearer the F gets. And when you say ''How old are you'' the ''How'' sounds like ''Hay''. The last sound of ''How'' should sound like the middle sound in ''old'', so like a U. Hope you can find some helping words in here. Much love to the both of you Keep it up
I learned SEE Sign - Sign Exactly English - years ago and it seems to not be popular in the USA like ASL is. I wonder why because you are speaking in sentences and it's helpful in learning how to write proper English. It uses article words like 'the', etc. Does anyone know why it's not as popular as ASL or BSL?
BSL (or ASL) is a language of its own just like the spoken English language. But SSE is a mixture of spoken and sign language but it’s not an official language like BSL. SSE is borrowed from BSL and English to help Deaf children to improve their written and spoken English skills. The best way to educate Deaf children is Bilingual education where the Deaf child communicates using BSL (or ASL) and uses written English to improve their writing skills.
I was laughing so hard at the lightning editing every time Katie tried to say 'deaf" hahaha. I think Katie did a good job too, Siri just isn't as good as she should be!
Omg thank you so much! I did a song in sign language once it was awesome to be able to learn such an amazing way of communication! You guys are making people happy. Keep up the amazing work and don’t give up!!
Hi Samantha and Katie! I just want to say, that you are both strong and wonderful people. Also, I’m sorry that Siri couldn’t understand when you spoke Samantha. I can tell you really tried your best. Just don’t forget to be confident and project your voice. Have a wonderful day guys!
Really with just a strong annunciation of that W,C,T,R it goes a long way I had a hard time with speech growing up. Now I got a large vocabulary but still need to understand contextual environmental and dialectical uses of words.
I thought I was just trying to use these apps and I got angry. I'm oralized deaf from Brazil. I already wanted to break my cell phone once I asked to call to open an app and he called the police.
Alexa does me same way. I ask her for a song or something. She go something i never heard before and nothing like what i asked her for. I told her she needs hearing aids
There are certain pronunciations that each of you excel in or do better than the other. I’m interested in the difference of experience with cochlear implant vs hearing aid and how that might change picking up certain sounds like the C sound at the back of the tongue
the girl on the left do say things correctly but for long words just say half of them. like uses just one vowel. sounds shoud be looonger. not short and fast. girl on the right pronounced like a charm! but she say the "o" in "how" as an "i" in "inside". the video was awsome i loved it good jobbb :D
Oh wow the girl on the right did super well. And I definitely agree with the comments saying it didn’t understand “how are you” cuz of the accent 😂 the girl on the left wasn’t too bad either. Siri might not have understood but us humans do ! And that’s what counts. Overall it was a pretty funny and interesting video ❤️
I love watching all kinds of these videos.. I need to learn more ASL I live in US, Pennsylvania.. But it's smart to learn about everyone and every critter and That's what I strive to do. We love yer videos!! Yer both amazing! Keep on keeping on! How different is sign L in different countries just wondering if you could tell me?
Seems like Samantha (sorry if I spelt it wrong) struggled with the k s but I heard her kinda hood your voice was really good just sounded like you had a little trouble with English
Eh, Siri can hear, but the question is, how well can Siri “understand” your Deaf voices? You are not alone, even hearing people have problems with Siri due to accents etc. It’s a fun video ☺️💖 thank you for taking the time to create this.
omg the frustration lol INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY AND BEING DEAF ARE NOT THE SAME-I will say that my sister with Down syndrome has a hard time getting Google Voice to understand her. I always tell her how we have to shout and enunciate at it cause my phone is just stupid lol She's def more chill when she sees that us, her typical sisters have a hard time getting the 'smart' features to understand us also. She thinks that's hilarious! Which-it is lolol
Deffo shows the limitations of voice recognition! esp when Sami said can you hear my deaf voice, I could understand what she was saying. TH and F sounds are the worst, even people who aren't deaf use both with different words, English is such a silly language in so many aspects lol
