7. Exploring the Potential of the Web Speech API in Karaoke / Ana Rodrigues / ffconf 2023 - YouTube

Summary

I loved this talk by Ana. She talks about her fandom of The Rasmus throughout her life.

She then explores the Web Speech API and showcases a project she built. It’s a Karaoke system that records you singing and matches words to the lyrics and gives feedback.

In the end, I really liked her remarks as she references Tim Holman’s ffconf 2018 talk Weird Web & Curious Creation:

“Back in 2018 Tim Holman showed us some really fun demos and then compiled what he learned from building seemingly useless things. And he ends the talk with Any idea you have has value.”
