Poetry Pharmacist: Voice Technology for Matching Poems to Emotions

The Poetry Pharmacist presents Ode, a voice-based service that combines the oldest and newest voice technologies to help people find poems suited to their current feelings. It outlines the project’s purpose, the way poems are recorded and matched, and the emotional connection it aims to provide.

■ Project concept and purpose
- The Poetry Pharmacist and Ode aim to offer poetry as emotional support
- The project addresses the limits of one-to-one conversations

■ Technology and content
- A voice system interprets user expressions and matches feelings to a library of poems
- Poems are original works recorded by actors, with texts and readings unchanged

■ User experience and audience
- Users describe feeling seen, heard, and comforted through poems
- The project seeks to reach people who may not turn to bookshops or poetry books

Viewers interested in poetry, emotional well-being, or voice technology can gain a conceptual overview of how the service works and who it is intended to help. The content focuses on the project’s vision and user experience rather than technical implementation details.
