Inspiration

We were inspired by the AssemblyAI's API as well as the fact that we are all university students and the theme of diversity in tech

What it does

transcribes recorded lectures into notes and translates them into 30+ languages

How we built it

We set up the AssemblyAI API to a website where the user can upload a video file of the lecture. the API does its thing, then we translate it using a translator code, reformat the text, and boom, you got lecture notes

Challenges we ran into

implementing AssemblyAi's API, learning javascript, making a website, combining the three steps of transcribing the file, looping the GET request, figuring out how to use the functions asynchronously, everything else, Finding a mentor to help with niche things

Accomplishments that we're proud of

learning javascript, using assemblyAI, building a website, overcoming all of the challenges, collaborating in a group setting.

What we learned

how to program Javascript, HTML, CSS, python, how to use assemblyAI

What's next for ScribeThat

adding more languages, keywords, subjects, more formatting features, connecting this to a university page so you don't have to take the steps of downloading and uploading, having the application itself in multiple languages. Different formats based on category, speaker, or things like changing paragraph and line spacing
