Wikipedia and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden have partnered up to construct a language engine so the on-line encyclopedia will shortly have the ability to read content out. It is going to be helpful to those with reading or visual problems. People who feel their eyes becoming strove after hours of rambling through the various pages of Wikipedia, might even be grateful of the news.

Do not locate Wikipedia addictive? You have clearly not been through the website’s listing of urban legends or common misconceptions.

The technology will soon be optimized for the encyclopedia that is virtual; but will be accessible for portal site running MediaWiki. The Wikispeech pilot project will begin by developing Arabic, Swedish and English language engines.

The aim would be to eventually empower content to be read by Wikipedia out loud to users in all the languages in which it’s not inaccessible. It supports 3D Touch and Limelight investigation. The platform has received a design overhaul in addition to changes to its UI associated with navigation. ‘Top read posts’ and ‘Image of the day’ are notable on the front page.

Upon launching, users will be welcomed by the Wikipedia program with ‘Featured article of the day.’ By downloading the most recent model of the program from iTunes it’s possible for you to always check out these new tweaks and much more.
