Lab 36 Reflection Journal


            For this lab we needed to create a translator on our webpage essentially. To work the translator all that needed to be done is to select the voice in whatever language which you want in then the pitch as well which would determine if the voice is low or so high that you can't hear, you are even given the option to increase the rate in which the translator speaks in meaning it can be tuned to talk really slow or really fast,  after this all that is left to type in what you want to say into the text box and then press the speak button and hear your computer translate your message. There is even a stop button added if you have heard enough or if you want to type in a different message. We completed this lab using constants that would give access to the buttons "Speak" and "Stop" as well as the sliders which control pitch and rate and even the text box. Using the speechSynthesis to allow the voice of the user to be heard as well as adding another function which allows the voice to be changed when selected.
            The skills gained from the lab are actually pretty useful as we add another design element to our toolbox which we can utilize in future projects which is something unique because where do you see a voice translator on a website. This is also useful if a translator is needed and no one is available the page is available to translate to people who may not speak the same language.

CS Fair Reflection Journal

Taken from the CS Fair website             Today we the Web Design academy had the opportunity to go to the CS Fair held within the Armory Track. At first before the entire trip even started I was wondering what we might see at this event and I really wasn't prepared for what was actually there. Once we got to the location I was astonished to see how many people actually went and even how many companies, colleges, etc were there at the fair. The place was massive and there was so many things to do, people to talk to and I was dumbfounded in where to start. The first thing I did during the fair was try the different activities they had to offer including playing with lights, driving a robot which was created to complete in a competition and was built in around 30 days which was extremely impressive. After trying the activities I then moved on to the actual fair itself and had the opportunities to talk to companies such as Facebook, Accenture, and eve...
