Python course

This is the course web site from a past quarter, 11au (Autumn 2011), but the current quarter is 14sp (Spring 2014). If you are a current student taking the course, this is not your class web site, and you should visit the current class web site instead. General info about the CSE 142 Python program: This quarter in CSE 142, we will conduct a special optional program to offer students a chance to learn a second programming language as you're learning Java. The second language's name is Python. What is Python? Python is a language that's good for writing programs to process text and other data. Why would I want to learn Python, in addition to Java? Learning two programming languages is a bit like growing up in a bilingual family: you'll not only learn those two languages well, but you may also learn some higher concepts about programming and programming languages in general. Who will run these sessions? What reward do I get for doing this? Yes! Speech to Text.

From OLPC Synopsis The project involves bringing Speech to Text support in OLPC while keeping in mind the specific needs of children.

Speech to Text

Due to space and power concerns we do not, as of now, have this useful tool. However, the discussions on the devel list[1] showed that because our intended end-users are children, we can afford to slightly compromise the quality of the engine.Some arguments to support this view are: Even a sub-optimal implementation (in terms of accuracy) for children will suffice for starters. To showcase the potential uses of the engine, A dictation activity will be built. Some other uses that were discussed on the list and off-list are: Speaking activity. The actual potential of this engine can only be realized when a substantial step is taken to provide a real-world, user-friendly implementation.

Plans for Implementation The idea is to port an existing open-source speech to text engine to OLPC as a starter.Technically, Julius and Sphinx seem to be the best choices.
