Text To Speech

This week I have been looking into an emerging technology that is being designed right on our doorstep at Purdue.

The technology is called Text To Speech. S.I.G.A.I. , the artificial intelligence special interest group, is working on T2S this year as one of their main projects.
The aim of Text To Speech is basically yo take a professors speech, convert it into text and then save that text as a viewable document for students to view as class notes. This will greatly improve the efficiency of note taking, basically eliminating the need for the distraction of note taking during class.

S.I.G.A.I. is working on implementing Text To Speech in classrooms at Purdue, so be on the lookout for this technology in the new year!
