Talking To Machines

A short workshop introducing speech recognition and speech synthesis techniques for the creation of interactive artwork. We use pre-compiled open-source tools (CMU Sphinx ASR, Festival TTS, Processing, Python) and focus on the demonstrable strengths and unexpected limitations of speech technologies as vehicles for creating meaning.

Saturday Sept 21, 2-6pm Centro Cultural de Borges, UNTREF.

Masters Student Workshop, “Speech Technologies,” Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero, Buenos Aires, C.A., Argentina
