Inspiration
I check my emails very frequently so I wanted to create something that's read me my emails based on commands I give and yeah, this is the motivation behind this project
What it does
It takes commands from you regarding reading your emails. You can also filter emails based on labels like from "Updates", "Forums" etc, and also unread and new. You can also say how many emails you want like, few, some, 4, etc.
How I built it
I built it using python. I used google Gmail API to access users' emails and a text to speech engine to speak out emails along with from, subject and body.
Challenges I ran into
Getting emails based on command provided was kinda tough
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Hey, finally it's working!
What I learned
I learned about wit.ai and how to use it for your purpose. I also learned about accessing emails using python.
What's next for ToDo
Due to the time limit of this hackathon, I didn't get time to implement speech recognition. So that's next for this project. It'll listen to users and will read emails for them. Also, I'll add a nice GUI to it. And it also needs a better text to speech engine.
