聽寫王釋法 TengSeWong/VoiceWriter

Right after the government seeking a third interpretation of Basic Law by the National People's Congress on the appropriate term of the next chief executive, I produce a DIY version of my own Basic Law. Basic Law is supposed to be a symbol of the autonomy and one-country-two-system policy in Hong Kong after the sovereignty handover in 1997. However, controversy has arisen over several Basic Law interpretation in the last few years. After all, what does Basic Law means to us, the Hong Kong people, indeed?

Using the computer software TengSeWong/Voice-writer, I made a new copy of Basic Law. Several chapters related to the appointment of Hong Kong’s chief executive was turned into computer-generated speech in Mandarin and was transcribed by the software to text. Due to the language differences, text transcribed by the Vocal-writer would be very different from original speech. For example, the speech of '香港特別行政區基本法' (Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Basic Law) in Mandarin was transcribed to '角鐵選取義肢黐筋自白' (triangular-iron-select-prosthesis- idiotic-avowal) by the software’s automatic word association function. Sentences are often made by individual colloquial phrases but do not make sense literally as a whole.
