All Ears

Inspiration

A girl in our group named Akshara didn't have any resources or apps to be able to use to communicate with those around her. Her conversations with others would make her feel insecure until the age of 6 when she got hearing aids. Now, thinking back on those years, she says that she wished she could have had something to make life easier for her.

What it does

Our code listens to what a person is saying and displays it on the deaf/mute person's screen. The deaf/mute person can also write down what they want to say and our page will say it out loud for the other person to hear. It works in multiple languages as well.

How we built it

We used text-to-speech and speech-to-text and tried to find algorithms to accomplish this. We worked on making an easy and clean design that can be used from day to day easily.

Challenges we ran into

A challenge we ran into was understanding the step-by-step algorithms for writing our code. We also ran into difficulties with our format. We also had a bit of a struggle with trying to make the languages work out.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud that we were able to present this in multiple languages. We are also proud that we were able to split the work and work on our specialties.

What we learned

We learned that there's always room to grow. You can always add more to your code. We also learned that the more minds, the more ideas.

What's next for All Ears

We hope to add even more languages. We also hope that we are able to translate languages and add special symbols for each language and their traditional text.
