Making Google Better

The future is voice-first, but not for everyone. Because of their unique speech patterns, voice technology doesn’t always understand people with Down syndrome. Project Understood is ensuring the future of voice technology includes people with Down syndrome. The Canadian Down Syndrome Society is working with Google to collect voice samples from the adult Down syndrome community to create a database that can help train Google's technology to better understand people with Down syndrome. The more voice samples we have, the more likely Google will be able to eventually improve speech recognition for everyone.

Teaching Google to understand people with Down syndrome, one voice at a time. 

Halloween 2019

Nora was “Mal,” from Disney’s The Descendants and Hannah was her favorite song, Baby Shark : ) 

The weather was typical Ohio: plummeted to 37˚ and blustery. 

Tim ventured out with the girls next door. Hannah received one piece of candy and amid the barking dogs and cold, said “Home!” Thankfully the neighbors were meeting up to trick-or-treat and took Nora with them. 

We didn’t see Nora until 7pm when she came to dump her bucket, put on a winter coat and go back out - !! She came home at 7:30pm with another full bucket. This child used to last five houses the past five years. We are ruined! Now she knows the haul she can really get if she stays out! 

Haha!

Annual Farm Trip

Our annual trip to the local farm, Shaw Farm, was quite nice. Finally cooled off and we went at 9:30 on a Sunday when the crowd was low. 

We ran into the girls’ little friend, Ruby, from the past babysitter. 

We love our spooky hayride every year!
