Abstract

WhiteboardVCR

WhiteboardVCR explores the potential of Text-to-Speech Synthesis (TTS) in Web Lectures. The system supports synchronization of slide markups and slide switching with a narration. The narration is a combination of video, human voice, and TTS. Users can view the presentation using a regular Web browser.
