Inspiration

Helping out the visually impaired who have trouble reading.

What it does

It takes an image from the user, and returns an audio file that reads out the text in that image.

How we built it

We used Google Firebase to store account credentials, along with the audio files and the files that the user uploaded.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge we ran into was trying to create the gallery. There were synchronization issues with firebase, so we were unable to retrieve all of the user's photos/audios, even though it was all stored in the database. Firebase would take too long to return all of the user's files, causing several issues. It was also confusing at times to communicate between the front end and back end.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Successfully creating an audio file out of the image that the user uploaded the user interface the design of the website

What we learned

We learned a lot about full stack development, using a database, and using google cloud's api's. we also learned how to efficiently work as a team.

What's next for Vision

Implement the gallery feature so that users can view all of the uploaded images and audios associated with these.
