Scans to PDF

An imagemagick command to turn all images in a folder into one single PDF. I used this for the Special Issue to make sharable versions of the scans of multipage documents from the city archive.

convert *.jpeg *.jpg *.png output.pdf

Webpage reader

In one of the sessions, we worked with text to speech based on the script spell-and-speak. My script asks for a url and will then generate a video of an emoji reading out the text on the webpage.

echo "What is the url you want me to read?"
read name
echo "You entered: $name"
