Alfred

Inspiration

Under the impact of the pandemic, students generally have difficulties with distance learning. Statistically, 90% of lectures are delivered virtually. Therefore, technical issues while watching lecture is unavoidable for students. Connection loss, server maintenance are the most common issues. Having to deal with those issues, students' learning experience is impacted. However, if there's an application to take notes for students while they're busy, that would be awesome.

What it does

Alfred is an application that transcribe video/audio into text in a timely manner and then summarize/beautify the transcript into a neatly organized document for students to read easily

How we built it

We use Microsoft Graph API Speech-To-Text to implement Alfred's main feature.

Challenges we ran into

In our team, each member has different skill sets. The hard part is to decide what software, language, platform that everyone can use.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're able to implement our idea partially and all the functions work as expected.

What we learned

Microsoft Graph API is such a power API pool where we can find helpful APIs for our future projects.

What's next for Alfred

Alfred needs to be developed to the level where it's accessible for everyone without Microsoft account. Also, Alfred need a UX/UI designer to make it become user-friendly.
