Description

When: Friday 18 May, 17:00 - 17:30
Where: Session principals (Q1/0003)
Who: Elhuyar Foundation / Basque Wikimedia User Group

Wikispeech is a project that intends to allow Wikipedia articles to be listened instead of read by means of TTS (Text-To-Speech) technology, thus enhancing Wikipedia accessibility.

In this session we will show briefly what Wikispeech is, what is its current state of development, the server configuration... You will learn how you can contribute to it and what needs to be done to add a new language to it.
