Inspiration
COVID-19 has impacted the lives globally especially the ones with disabilities hence, we have thought of a tool focusing on helping auditory-impaired individuals by assisting them. In the current scenario, there are special schools for them, so we decided to develop a tool that will bridge the gap and will enable them to study anywhere and interact with anyone around the world.
Track: Community
What it does
HearAssist facilitates communication with auditory-impaired individuals by providing live captions of ongoing communication.
How we built it
API Used: AssemblyAI
Back-end: Flask, Replit
Front-end: HTML, CSS
Challenges we ran into
Synchronizing with the AssemblyAI API was a bit difficult, but we were able to wind it up by going through the documentation.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud of building a prototype and finishing it up locally.
What we learned
We learned about AssemblyAI, web design, development, flask, and replit.
What's next for HearAssist
We'll be deploying it as a web application and it will even support more languages.
