That English though

Is this really the worlds first?
I guess test equipment is after basketballs in terms of Bluetooth (intercom) enabling...

What voice synthesis software did they use for this? Or is this just a voice artist doing his best impression of one?

EEVblog · « **Reply #3 on:** April 29, 2015, 03:25:43 am »

Nothing new. Extech and Gossen make Bluetooth meters, and likely others.

At least it is comprehensible, barely but I think I got what they meant.

Was that a computer voice? It sounded a bit artificial but they are getting good.

Reminds me of the videos like this one...

e.g. Martin Lorton was using an Extech GX900 that has bluetooth in his latest video:

He's preparing a review of that instrument

Listen to by Kill the Noise. Might not be your cup of dubs, but the voice is all computer generated. The software is extremely expensive though.

Indeed, it's getting good!

Sorry for derailing from topic.

I am sorry, if so, I have to amend that "it is the first bluetooth multimeter made in China"

No, CEM has had a dozen or so BT meters in their line-up for quite a while.

Well, then it's world's first Owon-made Bluetooth meter. Now that is something.

Can they seriously not find a native English speaker to translate from Chinglish?

In the Fluke tech data sheet for ir3000 FC they spec 187 and 789 as well.

I have one of those ir3000fc devices for my 289, works good actually. the fluke app isnt bad. I did post internal pictures of the irc3000 fc though

What? and lose this gem: "The co-analysing hence realizes"

It almost sounds like they CUT AND PASTED voice clips from the digi-key guy who does the Product Training Modules.

It is claimed that there are more English-speakers in China than there are in the USA.
(And that was back before the Spanish invasion).

But it continues to be remarkable that most Chinese vendors apparently feel no need for competent translation help.

mubes · « **Reply #18 on:** May 01, 2015, 05:47:51 pm »

Remarkably, this meter is only about fifty quid in the UK.... Wonder what the quality is like? I got put onto it by the guys at Coretest up in Lincoln and I'm intrigued.

I have a theory on this: They can but they just don't think it is important.

Interesting fact - there are more English speaking people in China than there are in Canada.

Yeah, I have heard that about the US also.
But after the examples we see almost every day, it makes you wonder how they are determining "speaking English"?

According to this video, Owon is mainly focused on general LCD stuff and not much focused on test equipment.

ScubaShan · « **Reply #22 on:** May 02, 2015, 11:04:00 am »

First? Jaycar have had one in Australia since last year http://www.jaycar.com.au/Test-%26-Measurement/Multimeters/Digital/IP67-True-RMS-Cat-IV-DMM-with-Meterbox-Smartphone-App-/p/QM1576 , its 40000 count and waterproof.

(I have one of those for sale if anyone is interested, $90 in Brisbane!)
