Virtual Symposium–Hyperlinked Coffee
Video created via Adobe Narrator: naturalreaders.com
Five-step strategy coaching for identifying librarianship
For this assignment, I created an Adobe video and originally planned to use Speechify to generate the scripts. Since Speechify asked for subscription fee , I found naturalreaders.com read the text for free with different voice choices. However, naturalreaders.com is free for limited access. I ended up with different voice generators at the end of the video. This is a fun experiment for me to try the text to speech generator AI. Through the learning process, I learned to understand my interest in marketing and info-graphic design.

Hi Yiwen! This was such a fun, interactive presentation with beautiful audiovisual media. I love the experiment of AI speech tools; I’ve noticed there are a number of voices people can choose from on social media apps as well (My personal favorite is the Venom voice). I was especially drawn to the Competency slide, which showcased your abilities to curate virtual experiences for users. I believe homebound users can benefit from this, as some people just don’t have the means to come to the space but can still be involved in the resources or services we market. The Beetletopia video was fun, professional, and edited so wonderfully (I would love to see this in person)! Fantastic job!

Hi Lorraine,
Thank you. It was fun to try new tools. I used NaturalReaders to generate the text-to-speech and then recorded the AI speech for editing in Adobe Video. Although NaturalReaders has a download function, it requires a paid subscription, so I recorded the audio manually and uploaded it to Adobe Video. The quality is quite raw, and you can hear background noise in the recording.
