Continue reading →: From Sound to Script: Speech-To-Text SoftwareRecently, the Adelphi University Innovation Center has been exploring and writing about text-to-speech (TTS) systems. A natural complement to this technology is speech-to-text (STT), which performs the reverse task: converting spoken language into written text. Once again, there are significant accessibility implications: lectures, meetings, and conversations can be transcribed, supporting…

Continue reading →: From Script to Sound: Text-To-Speech SoftwareThe Adelphi University Innovation Center is continually exploring technologies and ways to make them broadly available and usable across the community. One remarkable example is text-to-speech (TTS) systems, which convert written text into natural-sounding spoken audio. The accessibility implications are substantial; for example, educators can generate high-quality audio versions of…

Continue reading →: Designing 3D Worlds with the A-Frame Software LibraryAt the Innovation Center, we’re always looking for ways to make technology more approachable and accessible. For creating interactive 3D scenes, one of our favorite tools is A-Frame: a free and open-source web framework. A-Frame can be added to any basic webpage, giving you special HTML-like tags. These tags enable…

Continue reading →: Photogrammetry: From Snapshots to SculpturesPhotogrammetry is a technological technique that transforms ordinary 2D photographs into detailed 3D models. By taking hundreds of overlapping photos of an object or a location from every angle, specialized software can analyze the images for shared features and algorithmically reconstruct the original geometry. The process is rarely perfect; variations…
