HearMail

Inspiration

Our inspiration comes from a personal story of one our group members. His mentor and professor has suffered with vision loss despite his condition he has used all the tools around him to still read emails, however, we thought of an idea to make an even more efficient and effective tool that people who suffer with vision loss can utilize.

What it does

It provides accommodation for what might seem like a simple task such as checking emails for those who suffer from vision loss.

How we built it

We used React, typescript, html, css, OpenAI api, and other tools to make a robust and reliable web application.

Challenges we ran into

We found it challenging to populate the email client with data from an email account especially for a google email account that required a lot of research since google’s new recent policies made it impossible for old methodologies to work. Another Challenge we ran into is that one of our team members had no experience in web dev and had to rely on the rest of the group in the development process.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’re proud to say that our app is reliable, can be used by anyone who uses email, which is everyone :)

What we learned

We learned a lot of new development skills and tools. We strengthened our ability to work under pressure.

What's next for HearMail

Our next milestone is get more users to use our app, add new features, and scale out our technology.
