Voxforge

Problem#

By the time I built this, I had already made a normal portfolio and was bored of the format. So I asked a different question: what if you did not click through a personal site at all, and just talked to it?

Constraints#

• Voice control that works in a plain browser, with no app and no server.
• A fallback so it never traps anyone who does not want to speak to a website.
• Small and fast, built from scratch.

Build#

Voxforge is a hand-built site that listens for spoken commands through the browser's Web Speech API and navigates in response. It was equal parts experiment and statement: a portfolio does not have to look like everyone else's.

Result#

A fun, slightly absurd experiment, and one of the steps on the way to the site you are on now. The full arc is here: Three portfolios later.
