Inspiration

I wanted to build something which elevates the experience of surfing websites.

What it does

It takes audio input from the user and navigates to the page/site that the user wants, so it basically a browser extension that empowers users to navigate any website just by using their voice. for example, if a user is on youtube.com and wants to surf youtube.com/shorts so they just need to say "navigate to shorts" and the extension will do it for the user.

How we built it

I've used simple logic that is first we'll get access to the user's mic and then by using the real-time speech-to-text API provided by AssemblyAI, we'll transcribe the user's audio to text and by analyzing the text we'll navigate to the site/page that the user wants to. So, to know which site/page user want to surf we just look for the command "navigate to" in the transcribed text by API and after the keyword "navigate to" whatever things comes the extension navigates to that.

Challenges we ran into

Getting the mic access for chrome extension and unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the access for real-time speech-to-text API as it's charging me $5 to use it and I haven't any resources to pay so I quit and I am upset about it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Got a creative idea

What we learned

I learned a lot about chrome extension and about the hackathons.

What's next for speech2surf

Will going to complete it and will be adding more features to surf all features in the browser without even touching keyboard or mouse.
