A presentation at Devoxx in in Antwerp, Belgium by Eléa PETTON
“Hey Siri”, “OK Google”, “Alexa”… These sentences probably ring a bell, and that’s normal! Speech AI is everywhere, and we use it every day without even realizing it. Speech AI is often found in Chatbots, intelligent voice assistants, speech recognition systems or even in the automatic translation in some applications. Are you ready to master Speech AI APIs and integrate them into your solution for a state-of-the-art application? In this workshop, we’ll learn how to effectively use Speech AI APIs to create powerful and useful applications. We will start with an introduction to the main Speech AI concepts and tools, such as speech models and the various development libraries available in Python. No expertise required! Come as you are, with your browser; thanks to the magic of the Cloud, we’ll take care of the rest and provide you with a perfect dev environment! Next, we will manipulate Speech-To-Text and Text-To-Speech models to define the features we want to use, such as diarization and word-boosting. Finally, we will develop a web-app capable of transcribing, translating, subtitling and even dubbing an existing video. Begin your artificial speech journey as a novice and finish as a master!
