Inspiration

I have seen many statements about Indonesians not lacking skills; it's the language. We should have the same opportunities as other people across the world. We're humble, trustworthy, and have a decent work ethic. Supported by research data, we want to tackle this essential problem before everything else.

What it does

Kata helps Indonesians with three things:

  1. Live translation. This helps Indonesians with low confidence to have meaningful interactions with people who speak different languages. With our advanced machine learning technology, this live translation can detect sound, translate it, and create a voice-over based on the given languages.
  2. Learning assistant. This feature allows users to learn anywhere and anytime. Our customized chatbot assists users in learning the language. Furthermore, we also provide voice-over to enhance the learning experience (Indonesians can learn about pronunciation, etc.).
  3. Keyboard extension. This feature focuses on seamless translations and grammar fixes. Translations and grammar fixes can be utilized for casual or professional purposes to help Indonesians thrive and learn in different language environments.

How we built it

It's built on top of many libraries in the iOS ecosystem and the OpenAI API, mostly chat capabilities.

Challenges we ran into

It was challenging to learn new tools, such as keyboard extensions and working with the OpenAI API.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We managed to do this according to plan! It's earlier than we thought it would be, and we had fun working on this.

What we learned

Personally, we learned how to push ourselves even when working alone. Additionally, we learned to utilize many features in the iOS ecosystem, such as voice-over, speech detection, etc.

What's next for Kata - Indonesian All in One Learning Language Platform

We want to gather as much feedback as possible from our main users, Indonesians. While we do that, we want to develop the three main features to be more seamless and engaging.
