I have several post about the PronounceMe project experiments - automatic video and voice generator for English learners. If you missed previous posts please review #pronounceMe for more information about the project, ideas behind and some statistics. In this post I'd focus on the technical implementation with some diagrams and noticeable code snippets.

RPI Zero scan button
While I was finishing wireless scanner and printer server I realised that traditional document scanning approach is not so nice from UX point of view.
I really like the way office scanners in multi-functional devices work. Normally if you want to scan you just load stack of paper into and put your email address. Scanner does the rest and in minute you'll get ready-to-use pdf file in your inbox.
I was thinking about having button attached to RPI Zero which initiates scanning and document upload.
Amazon Alexa Skill: London Bus Stop
Do you prefer to use warm, quiet, spacious bus? Me too
Every time I'm leaving home I have to get updates about time when next busses come to my bus stop. For that reason I literally keep TFL tab open all the time in my mobile
I've got freelance job to write Alexa Skill so I decided to play around with pet project. It's London Bus Stop - custom Alexa Skill which helps user to get information about busses coming to saved bus stop.
