Inspiration
It is said that one should know at least 1000+ words to be able to carry out a conversation in English language. Knowing 4000+ words make you a proficient in English. But still, it's very likely that one may encounter a new word everyday. Sometimes it's also possible that one may not know the correct spelling of a word. To solve this problem, one should have an application which can help them to find the meanings of the words, even if their spelling is not 100% accurate.
What it does
The prototype we’ve built is a console application, made using python programming language. It takes the word from the user and returns its definition from the json file. It also gives best-matched word when the user enters the word with the wrong spelling.
How we built it
The Main Technology Stack what we've used is Python and it's Libraries.
Challenges we ran into
As this was our first hackathon, so we sort of ran out of time and we didn't finish to built it as a complete rest API to be integrated with other apps.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud of the console application that we've built so far.
What we learned
We learned about how to use python and it's libraries. And also how to manage time management skills.
What's next for Word Book
This project can be further extended to be a Rest API which can be integrated with different apps(such as Kindle, PDF Reader). It will be an AI based API whose work will be to check the eyeball movement of the reader and show the meaning of a particular word in a pop-up or a toast format if the reader is emphasizing on a word for a specific time(say 4 secs or so.).
