Zusammenfassung
With voice driven type design (VDTD), we introduce a novel concept to present written information in the digital age. While the shape of a single typographic character has been treated as an unchangeable property until today, we present an innovative method to adjust the shape of each single character according to particular acoustic features in the spoken reference. Thereby, we allow to keep some individuality and to gain additional value in written text, which offers different applications – providing meta-information in subtitles and chats, supporting deaf and hearing impaired people, illustrating intonation and accentuation in books for language learners – up to artistic expression. In this paper we describe the demo system as demonstrated at the conference Mensch und Computer 2015.
