Conversational News - Einzelansicht

Smart speakers like Google Home and Amazon Alexa already made their way into millions of households and present themselves as a new medium for news consumption. For example, big news publishers like the New York Times or CNN already produce daily flash briefings just for such devices. This project wants to develop a system to enable even small publishers to publish their written news articles on smart speakers in an engaging manner. The system will tackle these three main problems: the article structure has to be simplified to be more understandable through listening; the output of the speech synthesizer has to sound more natural and less boring; the possibility to ask for more information (like links to related articles or encyclopedic knowledge of mentioned person, places, or organizations) has to be added. The system will allow publishers to bootstrap their own smart speaker application and to quickly add articles to it.

Ort und Zeit werden zur Projektbörse bekannt gegeben.
