Wikispeech - continuing the work for a Wikipedia you can listen to
In this presentation we will tell you about Wikispeech, the solution to let people listen to Wikipedia. We'll give a brief recap of what we've done so far and then tell you what we're doing right now and in the near future.
In late 2024 we received a grant from the Swedish Inheritance Fund. This has helped us to restart our work with Wikispeech and plan for further development. We'll be working with such things as improving the experience for the end user, investigating new, modern voices and finalising tools for crowdsourcing.
