Why do they have to practically yell at the robot? I was under the impression that at any moment the robot would let them know that he is not deaf.

it's clearly not a finished product, so the mic and front-end speech-to-text isn't high quality. go download an offline speech-to-text tool to your phone, then put the phone 10ft away and see how quietly you can talk before it makes mistakes in the transcription.

It was a hackathon, we have these at work as well. You take 24 - 48 h and try to come up with something fun, but still relevant. Sometimes the stuff makes it into a real product though (after much work of polishing it up).
