  Translations using Urban Dictionary

Inspiration

We wanted to do something fun and exciting, nothing too serious. Slang is a vital component to thrive in today's society. Ever seen Travis Scott go like, "My dawg would prolly do it for a Louis belt", even most menials are not familiar with this slang. Therefore, we are leveraging the power of today's modern platform called "Urban Dictionary" to educate people about today's ways. Showing how today's music is changing with the slang thrown in.

What it does

You choose your desired song it will print out the lyrics for you and then it will even sing it for you in a robotic voice. It will then look up the urban dictionary meaning of the slang and replace with the original and then it will attempt to sing it.

How I built it

We utilized Python's Flask framework as well as numerous Python Natural Language Processing libraries. We created the Front end with a Bootstrap Framework. Utilizing Kaggle Datasets and Zdict API's

Challenges I ran into

Redirecting challenges with Flask were frequent and the excessive API calls made the program super slow.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The excellent UI design along with the amazing outcomes that can be produced from the translation of slang

What I learned

A lot of things we learned

What's next for SlangSlack

We are going to transform the way today's menials keep up with growing trends in slang.
