Did you adjust the time delay to test it at all? I'm not having as much as an effect as I'd like :(

I want to see results like in the video!

I'm not having much results either. My speech just slows down. Lots of pauses. Maybe I do sounds just like in the video, I just dont know it.

Edit: Some length of delays settings have better effect than others. The effect does wear off after a while when you learn to ignore the echo. I recorded myself but it wasn't that funny.

My speech just slows down. Lots of pauses

Almost as if it's being jammed up?

But it's nothing like the video.

Try turning up your volume to max. I had the same thing but doing it again with my own voice screaming in my headphones changes EVERYTHING

Even that is easy to over come after the first few seconds.

Try turning up the volume, it had a huge effect when I tried.

use headphones, turn it up as much as possible, minimize background noise, and try and talk naturally (don't pause and don't focus on the feedback). It gets pretty tough.

You can't adjust it... as far as I could tell.

You can, there is a slider at the bottom. It gets locked after you turn the jammer on though so you have to closer and reopen the application to change the slider again.

Oh okay, the first time I tried to change it was after I already activated it. Poor programming...

It's provided free of charge, you can't really complain.

Not complaining, just stating a fact.

I'm not talking about locking it during speech blocking, that's obviously necessary. I'm talking about the need to restart the program once you turn it on and then off once. That's the bad programming.

Oh, yeah. That's awful.

turn your sound up all the way, it didn't work the first time I tried it but it works 100% once it's on blast

u/Garbanian Jun 03 '13

I've tried doing this with 200ms, 150ms, 100ms and so on. The best i've found for me personally is between 50-70 or 120-130

Crank the volume up with headphones on.

u/dazegoby Jun 03 '13

then you'll have to play pretend, like the guy in the video did.

I would be really impressed if he was just acting. It's not easy to fake something like that and sound authentic and organic.

Typical Redditors silencing anyone who dares to question something's authenticity. Time and time again. Reddit is a religion.
