Inspiration

We were frustrated that we often had to choose between writing down notes and paying full attention to the teacher. We wanted to create a way for students to be able to pay full attention to the lecture and still have a set of notes afterwards.

What it does

It records the audio of a lecture, transcribes it into text, then reduces it to its most important points.

How we built it

We used IBM Bluemix Speech-to-Text api to transcribe the audio, and used SMMRY api to summarize the text

Challenges we ran into

Building a web app with node.js

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Identifying a real problem in our lives and coming up with a working solution

What we learned

We learned about node.js

What's next for AutoNote

To take this product forward, we would create ios and android apps so students have convenient access to AutoNote at any time
