Inspiration

Visually impaired, low-vision, disabled, technical-oriented and simply lazy people

What it does

Lazy people/ geeks/ democrats probably would love this. Disabled people can perform their search easily and get credible output. Technical-oriented students could easily search for useful pieces of knowledge/ terminologies. Visually-impaired would require a text-to-speech, which time allocation does not allow.

How I built it

With Javascript mostly and w3c speech API

Challenges I ran into

Difficulties: XML to JSON (API limitations). Solution: turn output into image. Potential improvement: Text-to-speech for feedback. Speech recognition with an addition of voice command.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Fully search control (assumed initiation). Selective results regarding technical, math, or science. Plots and graphs included. (more detailed, science-oriented, and easier to navigate/control than traditional web search). Smooth UI, user-friendly, minimal activities required.
