Inspiration
Ever hear someone say “67” and have no idea what it means? That was us. We realized slang often creates a communication gap between generations, especially for people like social workers who regularly interact across age groups.
What it does
ZoomersToBoomers bridges generations by decoding slang in real time. Using Snap Spectacles, it listens, identifies slang, and provides clear explanations. It help users understand modern language trends and connect more naturally.
How we built it
We built the prototype using Lens Studio, integrating it with Snap Spectacles to capture real-world conversations and visuals. The recorded speech is then processed through the Groq API, which identifies slang and generates a simple, real-time description displayed right beside the person speaking.
What's next for ZoomersToBoomers
We plan to:
- Expand slang recognition to more global languages and cultural contexts.
- Add interactive flashcards to help users learn slang playfully.
- Introduce achievement badges for mastering new expressions.
- Build a community-driven slang library that evolves with real world use.
