Inspiration
I wanted to make something fun, as that's why I got into CS in the first place, and something that makes society a better place.
What it does
The user can swear into the microphone and the Google Speech-to-Text API looks for curse words. If any swear words are detected, money is added to the jar. The user can choose to donate the contents of the jar at any time to the charity of choice (Doctors Without Borders).
How I built it
Uses: Python, Google Speech-to-Text, Tkinter, PayPal, MongoDB
Challenges I ran into
The PayPal API I wanted to use was deprecated, so I had to get creative in my PayPal implementation

Learned new technologies and finished my project
What I learned
