It is a chrome extension for a web browser that tells you about the stuff in the current web page by highlighting that portion.

Inspiration

quick search, voice assistant, restricting the usage time of social media

What it does

it helps people who aren't much accustomed to a website to quickly find out and highlight the sections or particular thing on the website using this extension. and making it clearly visible for the people who are new to tech and relatively aged people. For that reason, I have also selected a yellow highlighter so that it catches the eyes of aged people very easily. We also added the feature wherein the website gives an alert after a certain time that the user has set to restrict the excess usage of social media and parents can also set a time limit check on children.

How we built it

built using javascript; HTML; CSS

Challenges we ran into

execution of the voice assistant and making a proper card for the extension

Accomplishments that we're proud of

the extension is working pretty well on all websites and highlighting the main portions that the user wants, which is our basic aim for making this project. I have also been able to set an alert that pops up after the set timer runs out to notify the user.

What we learned

we learned a lot of new concepts in javascript while making this project and also a few developments in CSS

What's next for Quick Assistant

next up we plan to market this product after installing the voice model feature and also provide a section through which quick search can be carried out. Also planning to set it up in such a way that the window gives a warning after the timer runs out and also implement the website usage time.
