Dear all,
You would have noticed a few days back an Email from Sinoj regarding the
TTS launched recently.
You would have also noticed my views regarding the TTS not only in this
platform but also in accessindia.
The TTS project is headed by Professor Hema Murthy who heads the
computer department in IIT chennai.
She has given me all the assurance to improve the quality of the
Malayalam TTS when she spoke to me over the phone yesterday and I plan
to be in constant touch with her.
What we have to do is to give feedback to professor Hema for the further
improvement of the software.
What I have noticed during my two month stint with CDAC and the training
experience which I had is, Most of the trainees don't come up with
creative criticism or feedback.
When interviewed by CDAC officials, most of the trainees expressed
satisfaction about the TTS.
Indeed, we are satisfied and grateful for those who come up with such
initiatives.
But, this shouldn't give false belief to those who are responsible to
the extend that, whatever they do is good and fine.
What I mean is, we have to point out the bugs and shortcomings of the
products they make without any fear.
At the same time, we must make sure that, we don't go overboard with our
negative criticisms.
Huge amount of money is involved in these kinds of projects and We must
make use of the platforms like Keralavision and accessindia and so on to
express ourselves hence becoming a part of these kinds of initiatives.
I know, things can't be changed overnight and we will have to struggle
and strive for our goals relentlessly.
If we are not ready to do this, we will only get what others give us.
Let's hope that, projects like the TTS and the OCR will see light and in
a good way!
Regards,
P. balaraman.
