EITHER you have ingested a greenfly, which has lodged in the
vicinity of your left tonsil, OR you are saying "my beachball is
ablaze" in Welsh. |

See link - just for Max who speaks Welsh like a talking haggis. |

[8th], most of us just call them "Bic lighters". |

Is it full of eels, by any chance ? |

// [marked-for-tagline]// Seconded. I'm feeling immodest. |

I don't mind Shazam analysing my cough, just make it stop getting Siri to tell me to turn my head first. |

People's airways are so different that a generalized
database probably wouldn't be much good, but might be a
good way to keep tabs on your particular cough patterns.
For instance, you know you have bronchitis, cough into
this and type in "Bronchitis". Then register your coughs
when you have colds, flu,
allergies, asthma attack etc so you have your own
comparison
database. |
|
|
Then when you start coughing or sneezing, do it into the
program and have it say "This cough is similar to the one
you had when you had bronchitis." |
|
|
Only problem is, not sure if there's any difference
between coughs caused by different problems. It's just a
spasm triggered by something. I guess if there's mucous
involved that will add something that sounds different
than a dry cough so might be some diagnostic utility
there. |

I like the personalised variation. Choocolata for
your suggestion. When I was a child I suffered from
repeated episodes of bronchitis that left scars on
my lungs, so I recognise the bronchial bark
instantly, especially my own. A database of heart
rhythms would be useful too? Maybe that one
already exists. |
|
|
I know they can supposedly measure voice stress, maybe
there are subtleties that computers can recognize that the
ear can't. |
|
|
I'm glad you're better now with the bronchitis thing. Sorry
you had to go through that. |

There have been competitions on Kaggle to develop a
machine learning-based solution for that. |

Cough, cough, cough..... Congratulations, your
dry cough indicates that you have coronavirus, but
don't worry, it's all just a big hoax." |
