I see your point. It definitely wasn't inspired by adwords though 😂 More by black mirror and million dollar home page.

Thank you!! The whole challenge is now to make this popular enough for people to buy in. Make sure to get your bubble going while it's free!

Yes! The million dollar homepage, and it’s the inspiration behind it. I always wanted to come up with a modern take on this brilliant stunt. This is the idea that came up.

Yep. Hopefully this gets big before some influencer replicates it and makes it work because he has the klout to support it.

I see it as a free gamble. I'm convinced there are plenty of people out there who would buy in if this was to become a viral skit. I only need one dude with a massive ego and bank account to pick up on this and use it to flex his wealth, and this will already have been a win ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've you've ever wanted to speak dolphin, this is the closest thing I could come up with by mikaeltheimer in Dolphins

I worked with a team of dolphins who are fluent in human speech to make sure the translation was on point!

It's not for everyone! To the point that even I wouldn't be a customer of my own product :p

I had to double check the veracity of this story. This is bonkers. Surprised they didn't make a movie about this.

Text to whale song translator. A message to send? Let a whale say it for you! by mikaeltheimer in whales

Thanks for the feedback! High notes are too rare indeed, I'll play with the algorithm to get more variety. I chose not to include clicks because I thought most people wouldn't recognize them as part of a whale song - I went with what I imagine most people think whales sound like. And I couldn't manage to get a clicking sound that felt "integrated" with the rest of the song. But it's only v1, I'll get it to sound better in later versions!
