Just Say It ! (Creating verbal-communication between machine and human beings)


The problem ECHO solves

Ever since the advent of technology, human beings have been making continuous advances in improving their lifestyles and making it more comfortable and systematic. We as a team have made a small effort towards making our lifestyles a little more smoother. Our project demonstrates a hardware device that is capable of music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms as well as performing tasks for the user as instructed.

Most technology is not tailored for seniors and their different needs, touch screens can sometimes be hard to use because of reduced vision and inability to keep pace with daily technical advances. Our device makes it real easy for them to instruct their device to perform the desired operations plainly by voice recognition. In general as well, the design of our device makes it a wonderful experience to use, as it is crafted well to be pleasant on the eyes, with the beautiful range of colours it produces.

Challenges we ran into

Since we are newbies in the field of participation in hackathons, we lacked complete technical expertise and knowledge that was required to implement this project. At one point of time it seemed extremely difficult to fix the bugs. We are beginners in the field of Artificial Intelligence and tried our best to implement our knowledge to the fullest.
