Through a mix of audio, video, and live performance, Tony will explore Web based AI tools in an attempt to convince the audience of their suitability for helping write hip hop lyrics. After a walkthrough and comparison of the main options, we'll put the best to the test in a crescendo you won't forget. You'll walk away from this session with an understanding of the current state of browser based speech recongition, a starting point for integrating it into your web applications, and an new found appreciation for how technology can amplify human creativity — one bar at a time.
