WebRICE Extension

Webrice is a web reader for Icelandic text. It uses a text to speech (TTS) system to read aloud Icelandic text.

WebRICE er íslenskur veflesari sem les upp texta á vefsíðum á íslensku.
Veflesarinn notar talgreini til að breyta texta í talað mál.

Veldu textann sem þú vilt hlusta á, opnið uppflettigluggann og smellið á Spila til að hefja upplestur. Ef enginn texti er valinn þá er allur textinn á síðunni lesinn upp.

Opnaðu sprettigluggann fyrir viðbótina (best að pinna vefviðbótina svo hún sé alltaf sýnileg).

Smellt á Spila → Byrjar upplestur af vefsíðu. Þú gætir þurft að bíða aðeins á meðan textanum er breytt í tal.

Smellt á Pásu → Gerir hlé á upplestrinum.

Smellt á Stopp → Stoppar upplestur og endurstillir á upphafsreit.

Smellt á Spilunarhraða → Opnar lista þar sem hraðinn sem þú vilt að hljóðið sé spilað á er valinn.

Smellt á Meria ( . . . ) → Gerir þér kleift að velja rödd og stillta hljóðstyrk. Þar fæst líka aðgangur að ítarlegri stillingum fyrir SSML og tengingu við AWS bakendakerfið Polly.

Þetta verkefni var þróað af Mál- og raddtæknistofu Gervigreindarseturs Háskólans í Reykjavík.
Verkefni var styrkt af MÁLTÆKNI FYRIR ÍSLENSKU 2019-2023. Verkáætlun, sem Almannarómur stýrði, og er styrkt af mennta- og menningarmálaráðuneytinu.
