Tourist's Best Friend

The problem MultiLINGO solves

It solves the language barrier problem which a tourist often experience when they visit some other country where people speak their own native language and the important documents, boards etc is in their language. The tourist can click a pic of it, and translate the text on it . They can also write some text and translate . It can even help in communication as it can also use speech to speech translation so that the tourist don't face any difficulties in foreign countries.

Challenges we ran into

Having done only a few projects on django before, we faced problems in the image to translated text section where we weren't able to upload the image properly. Writing the programming logic in the backend for this part was also a bit tricky using pytesseract in python.
Text to Text : We had a lot of issues downloading the libraries/extensions and configuring them with Django since we were using Django globally. Then we created a virtual environment and solved this problem step by step
Speech to Speech: Due to our lack of experience in Javascript we weren’t able to configure the speech to speech part for a long time. Then after spending hours on forums trying to debug the issue while almost giving up we found a solution and luckily everything just clicked
