Anthropology

One of my areas of study before I buckled down and declared a major was linguistics. Even after I graduated and worked in my primary chosen career I continued my interest in language and did research that helped establish the foundations for early speech synthesis and the speech generated by AI today.

My work centered on writing languages that provide individuals who are unable to speak augmented speech by way of speech generating devices, like Stephen Hawking. The same computer languages we have today that let us have our emails spoken to us and that through AI lead to this wonderful thing you've shared here.

I am an award winning, published author in the field and am so excited to see how far we've come in this arena.

Thanks so much for sharing this, Judi Lynn. I helps to remind me that I'm not old and useless because I did many things in the past that were useful and helpful and continue to be relevant even so many years later.
