COMPUTER INTERACTIONS

This was one of the first projects that I had the pleasure of working on. I was tasked with giving a program the ability to convert an image to text and to recognize voice commands. It gave me the opportunity to learn a lot about what a software engineer does, best practices to take, and how to effectively work with a team. This took place at the between 2017 - 2018.

To See What I See

A Computer’s Perspective

The first time I got a computer to recognize text on a page was such an amazing feeling. I remember testing it out on several different mediums such as, computer screens, sheets of paper, whiteboards, etc. just for it to recognize everything perfectly. Its ability to discern between typed text and handwritten text was amazing.

The external camera I was using at the time wasn’t event that good either.

 

 

It Can Hear What I Speak

Listening In...

Voice commands were a bit more difficult to handle. Luckily at the time I was given access to several Google based tools that allowed development to be streamlined. Once the program could recognize speech, it was just a matter of creating the system that would turn that data into actions.

The system wasn’t just limited to single commands either. It was able to take inputs that were previously spoken and use that in conjunction with new commands given to preform complicated actions. It was truly an amazing time and my first introduction into just how powerful code and programming can be.
