FluentType

What The Web App Does

1. Users open your site
2. They type in their native language
3. The web app instantly shows multiple smart English translation suggestions
4. Each suggestion adapts to tone (formal, friendly, concise, etc.)
5. Users can copy the final output and use it in chats, emails, forms, etc.

Inspiration (Web App Version)

Many people struggle writing fluent English online. Switching between apps (Google Translate → Editor → Chat) wastes time. We wanted a web platform that provides instant tone-aware English translations without any friction.

How We Built It (Web App Version)

• Built a React/Next.js frontend for fast typing input and suggestion UI
• Built an Express.js backend for handling translation and tone prompts
• Integrated Google AI APIs for generating context-aware translation options
• Hosted the application on Firebase / Vercel for reliable performance
• Added copy-to-clipboard features and tone selector UI
• Implemented caching for faster repeated inputs

Challenges We Faced

• Achieving low-latency translations on a web interface
• Building a clean UI that feels natural for fast typing
• Managing tone-specific translation accuracy
• Handling code-mixed text (Hindi + English)
• Optimizing backend API usage to control costs

Accomplishments We’re Proud Of

1. Fully functional real-time translation web app
2. Smooth and clean UI optimized for speed
3. Smart tone-based suggestions that feel human
4. Works on all browsers, devices, and screen sizes
