A short 1-2 day workshop introducing speech recognition and speech synthesis techniques for the creation of interactive artwork. We use pre-compiled open-source tools (CMU Sphinx ASR and Festival TTS), and focus on the specifics of language model construction and creative deployment of the technologies as vehicles for creating meaning.
