Inspiration
The inspiration mostly came from our own studies. We write all our assignments in LaTeX and have found it cumbersome to input especially math.
What it does
It takes a voice input of different standard math functions and converts it to LaTeX.
How we built it
We separated the work into two parts, so one worked on the speech to LaTeX part of it and the other build a website and a Flask backend to host it all. Then we glued it all together. We do not recommend this approach since it can give some headaches
Challenges we ran into
We had to put in a few safeguards to ensure issues like the speech-api returning "to" when we ment "2". We also had a file conversation issue since our frontend recorded audio in .ogg file format and we could only make the speech-api accept .flac formats. We spend a long time looking for different python libraries that solved this issue.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It works! (..mostly) It also looks really pretty. Mostly we are quite happy that everything came together relatively easily.
What we learned
Google-speech, Flask, File conversation, Bootstrap and we need to get better at escape rooms.
What's next for Tex-Speech
More features and more robust parsing.
What are we competing for
Google-api competition
