Around 15% of the youth today are affected by dyslexia. Reports suggest that they are exceptional problem solvers and with sufficient help, they can be excellent coders too. Generally, the problems faced by them includes: Forgetting the sequence of actions, getting distracted very easily, etc...Since Data Science is one of the emerging fields, we thought what if the Dyslexic are provided resources to compete with their peers and contribute to this interesting fireld. This is a voice enabled coding assistant especially designed for coding datascience projects in minutes with minimal coding. The user can give commands in natural language and FRIDAY will convert it into Python code and automatically import the necessary packages. Upon encountering an error, if the user wants to find out the solution, a simple voice command "Debug" is enough to fetch the top answer from stackoverflow in the same screen space. Apart from the benefits to the Dyslexics, this tool can also serve as an educational tool and help beginners in data science to master the concepts in a short span of time.
Since our problem statement involves a lot of coding terms, the main challenge we ran into was the unavailability of a suitable dataset. So we had to make a small dataset and work on that. Also, another main feature of our project was displaying the top voted answer from StackOverflow solving the Error obtained in the interpreter. But since we can achieve this only through StackExchange API and there were only limited amount of requests permitted. We had to wait till the time limit got over and show the demo.
