25 Minute Presentation - In Person Application Development and Deployment

Description

Sometimes, we need to verify if what someone is saying is true.
In this talk, we will look at how to achieve this when it comes to
accessibility testing, specifically how to verify if what screen reader
is saying is true or not. The tools used for this challenge are the
screen reader itself, a pretrained speech to text model, audio recorder
and a bit of python codexi and we will also take a look at the specific
problems that this challenge presents. However, the result is a well-functioning, automated test that can be run in CI/CD pipeline to make everyone's life easier.
