The WebRTC.ventures Blog.

At WebRTC.ventures, we have worked on several projects implementing live streaming camera applications with a Raspberry Pi. For example, we implemented a motion detection camera that allows a user to watch their camera live and to watch pre-recorded videos that were generated when motion was detected. After doing this, we wanted to play more with that and the hot technology of the year: artificial intelligence (AI).  While there are many ways to do that, a

Natural language processing (NLP) is a revolutionary technology that allows users to communicate and interface with a computer through the most natural and efficient means known to mankind: speech. NLP uses core concepts from computer science and linguistics to break down sentence structure and categorize words into the eight parts of speech. The computer then uses models such as trees to comprehend the meaning behind each sentence. “Who is Doctor Who?” could confuse the computer

Rafael Viscarra, one of our engineers, wrote a blog post about using WebRTC to build features like speech to text. These commonly requested features require large amounts of engineering resources, but Rafael found a great way to help with that! Check out Rafael's blog post to learn about the Pion WebRTC library.
