Makes sense. Instead of replacing junior staff, they should be trained to use AI to get more done in less time. In next 2-3 years they will be experts doing good work with high productivity.

Looks gorgeous! It looks like a MindMap!!


Beautiful!


Thanks!


I had written a simple Clients -> Orders -> Invocies - Payment collection managing software for my company in 1998. It is still being used in 2024! I am humbled every time I see our team using it.


Excellent UI! I love it.


This is awesome!

I was looking for software, where I could input notes of Hindi songs. And then replay them in a loop to practice singing the song. I will try your application.


Neat! You could add the lyrics below each note as well. The lyrics section is hidden by default, you could go to the gear ( ) icon and enable it.

And not just for Hindi songs, but for any song that can be imagined in Swaras. Here's Boney M's Rasputin written as a notebook https://swaranotebook.com/view/vlB9hVgb5OdKcadbhOOYyzKwvpl2/...


Well done!


Amazing achievement!


My mother has been wearing Hearing Aids for over 20 years. These days she has trouble with hearing what is on TV even with a powerful hearing aid. Most times she just sits quietly in front of the TV watching moving pictures.

I have always wondered why it is so difficult to make hearing aid which can be connected to a bluetooth enabled TV or Mobile phone, so senior citizens can watch TV or talk to their loved one. Whatever is available on the market is so expensive.


Well, my mom has one of those.

They are actually two pieces, one is a match-box sized thingy that can connect to Bluetooth devices and that she wears around her neck that transmits to the devices in her ears and also has a microphone, it is very handy as she can easily answer the phone by pressing a button on it (leaving the telephone in the bag, it works as hand-free) and it also has two buttons that can regulate the volume of the hearing aids (the volume of her hearing aids can be regulated also through a teeny-tiny button on the back of the hearing aid, right hand one up, left hand down, but she simply cannot find/push them properly).

We got the above first to better adjust volume and for the telephone use, then she started getting issue with the TV and we bought the following.

Then there is a small transmitter connected to the TV that can link to the matchbox-like device (that has a fourth button to connect/disconnect to the TV device), it has both RCA plug and an optical input.

She is very, very happy of this setup for the TV, much more than what she had before (wireless headphones).

Prices are steep, to give you an idea, if I recall correctly:

hearing aids € 2,500

neck matchbox-like thingy € 250

TV transmitter € 300


They do come up on ebay - I got the tv link for my cochlear implant for £30. Yes, I was lucky. I assume it was a deceased estate sale, and I'm grateful for their consideration. A charity shop specialising in recycling of this kind of tech would fill a definite gap in the market.


Thank you for giving a detailed explanation. I have got a general idea. I wish you could share photos, so I can replicate it for my Mom.


The issue is the wireless protocol used by the hearing aids (which I believe it is proprietary).

The TV box thingy is like a "normal" Bluetooth transmitter for a TV, the only differences are that my mom's one has direct RCA and optical instead of an audio jack and a blue led to show it is powered and a brightish orange one to show if the connection is active, here it is:

The neck thingy is this one: https://www.hab.online/product/oticon-streamer-pro/

The above (UK) site seems to have all versions of these thingies, here:

The alternative:

we tried but it is too small for my mom to use comfortably.

Here is the manual of the streamer, with more details:

Thank you, friend!


There are bluetooth enabled hearing aids. Also you can get normal headphones with bluetooth capability. I have 60dB hearing loss and use the bluetooth headphones from time to time both with and without my hearing aids.
