LaTeXt to Speech is a system that converts the contents of LaTeX files into audible speech. Our goal here was to develop a system that not only takes the verbatim textual contents but includes logical contextual pronunciation of the possible maths, mathematical formulas and programming code listings in the final audio as well. By creating such a system, we hope to support students with visual or learning disabilities in their academic and educational efforts and people that prefer to read or study papers by listening to them.
The CS Design Project module is one of the two final modules of the Bachelor. In the design component of this module, students show that they master the entire design trajectory, from the first informal specification of requirements by a client to the delivery and presentation of a well-documented working product. Projects are submitted by clients from either inside or outside the University. Students perform the project in groups of 3-5 students under the supervision of a teacher from the Department of Computer Science. The supervisor is also the one who assesses the process and products of the group. Project deliverables include a project proposal, a design report, a presentation and a poster.
