Inspiration

Our idea was inspired by Duolingo. We noticed that the main component that the platform was missing was a tool for practicing your conversation skills. Upon learning about AssemblyAI's Speech-to-Text API, we decided that it might be possible to realize this idea ourselves.

What it does

GrammarParrot allows users to practice their English speaking skills through simulated conversations. The website sends audio files recorded by the user to Assembly, which returns a transcript. The GrammarBot API uses this transcript and returns a list of grammatical errors for the user to review.

How we built it

The front-end of this website was built using HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and is hosted on Netlify. The back-end was developed with Python's Flask and is hosted on the Google Cloud platform.

Challenges we ran into

Hosting a Flask server on Google Cloud, making API calls.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of our fantastic front-end design and creating a fully-functioning back-end for the first time!

What we learned

Hosting a Flask server on Google Cloud, making API calls, making animations with JavaScript and CSS, front-end design.

What's next for GrammarParrot

Expanding to different languages, using a more powerful grammar API, using user-submitted questions, tracking user progress.
