Inspiration

Staying up late at night writing expressions, having to do insane amounts of boring plug and chug that seriously take up time... why not have a note taking app that autocompletes the math for you?

What it does

Given math expressions it gives you the answer in your own handwriting. It also is able to give an optional visualisation from Wolfram Alpha and an explanation from GPT3.5.

How we built it

Using Python, using WolframAlpha, GPT3.5 APIs, Tkinter.

Challenges we ran into

Generally just integration issues, finding solutions to small problems; i.e. streamlining the image type to PIL

Accomplishments that we're proud of

That we actually completed our project, that Ty had to restart/rewrite his entire codebase in Python, our collective ability to adjust, and the amount we got done in the few hours we had. (5 hours were spent coming up with an idea!)

What we learned

  • How to go from idea to project
  • How to utilise open-source software
  • How to make GET requests
  • How to work efficiently with other people, divide and conquer
  • The correct time to help your teammate out
  • There is probably a limit to how many RedBulls you should have in 24 hours

What's next for Scribe

  • Text autocomplete
  • iOS app
