🚀 Inspiration:

Students with ADHD and dyslexia often struggle with fast-paced lectures and complex texts. SimplifyIt was created to help by summarizing and transcribing content into clear, concise pieces. This allows students to focus better and retain important information, making studying easier and more efficient.

🎉 What It Does:

SimplifyIt condenses long texts into short summaries, making it easier for students with ADHD or dyslexia to focus on the key points. It also transcribes spoken content, helping students keep up with lectures and textbooks while improving their understanding and retention.

🛠️ How We Built It:

We used JavaScript for the frontend and n8n for handling the backend and AI. SimplifyIt simplifies reading by summarizing texts and transcribing key points. Google Gemini powers the AI summarization and transcription, making it highly accurate and efficient. This helps students absorb complex information more easily and stay in sync with lectures and study materials.

🚧 Challenges We Ran Into:

Extracting content and integrating accurate AI summarization and transcription was challenging. We also needed to ensure the platform could handle large amounts of text without slowing down. Creating an accessible user interface for students with ADHD or dyslexia required careful design. We accidentally hit the rate limit of the gemini API by accidentally calling it in a loop.

🏆 Accomplishments That We're Proud Of:

We’re proud that SimplifyIt combines text summarization, transcription, and accessibility features into one platform. The integration of JavaScript, n8n, and Google Gemini, along with an intuitive design, makes the tool effective and user-friendly.

📚 What We Learned:

We learned the importance of clear API documentation for faster development. Optimizing real-time performance, especially for transcription, was key. We also learned how to adapt to new technologies and work effectively under pressure. Thorough planning was essential for building a flexible and scalable codebase.
