Inspiration:

Humans err, machines don't. So let Hark listen and summarize.

What it does:

Summarizes long audio notes, stores on the cloud and then briefs the user..  

Challenges:

Echo dot doesn't listen longer .. so used google voice. Voice to text accuracy is low when environment is noisy

Accomplished:

  1. Set up custom skill for alexa to brief the user.
  2. Summarized the text using third party API in Android.
  3. Set up web server for hosting JSON and PHP files.
  4. Alexa pulls JSON and briefs you...

What we learned:

team work. working with new state of the art technologies.. innovating.... time and task management..

Whats next:

ftc hark currently uses google voice api for voice to text. Alexa (Amazon Echo Dot) Voices API can be used to do the voice to text conversion instead of the Google Voice,  the summary generated now is generic. could be extended to summarize based on a query obtained from the user. Example if you want to summarize over a classroom lecture a generic summary will give you a overall idea of what the lecture consisted of, whereas a query based summarizer would summarize a specific topic covered in the lecture.

Built with

Android, Amazon Echo Dot, PHP
