audio-text-tx

Inspiration

We wanted to hack with fun communication tech.

What it does

Transmits unidirectional or bidirectional audio steams via base64 encoded audio shared as constantly updating text in a Google doc.

How we built it

All in python. Encoding is native and we used Pyaudio and selenium to do the audio handling and browser automation.

Challenges we ran into

Google docs is bounding our latency.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our audio steam is understandable.

What we learned

Audio is hard but fulfilling.

What's next for audio-text-tx

Maybe some more work on getting the stream delay down.
