Agenda Review, Membership & Announcements

(discussion of how Braille, label, and our spoken HTML work might continue to collide)
question: does Braille and language interact in ways we haven't considered?
janina: it's at least worth talking about in the DPUB area
janina: there's work that I haven't followed closely enough for Braille and music notation. it could be really helpful for music education
Action Items
janina: try to conclude meetings with 5-10 minutes left for whatever
https://
janina: hoping to have a draft of the i18n action for next week
Github Issues and examples
https://
we might need to bring this up (embedded languages, creoles, etc.) with the linguists (i18n) so we can address these cases
the TTS engines may not have enough voice packs to cover these cases so filling in with IPA pronunciation could be an option
NeilS: loan words (like French words) or even UK English (e.g., aluminum) show a generic issue pattern that needs to be addressed
<Sarah_Wood> I just found this link to a Hawaiian language center: https://
in general, native, oppressed, and disappearing languages/cultures should be considered in our annotation of language
Other Business
janina: question for Mark: I saw something about Cambridge assessments, should we try to recruit them?
janina: they mentioned having to record things because TTS would not pronounce it correctly
mhakkinen: I'll look into them
<NeilS> They have computer based exams: https://
mhakkinen: it may be helpful to also talk to Duolingo
mhakkinen: I won't be able to go
the main conference is 3 days
NeilS: there's another conf called TPAC in the same city at the same time
