The problem Virtuoso solves
Students and teachers and use virtuoso to manage all their classes and assignments and even hold online lectures where the professor and the student can collaborate together on a board to learn new and interesting concepts at the same time retaining information with the use of virtuoso groups. These groups can be student based and or teacher-student combos as the need arises. Students can also create and join other interest-based discussion groups and calls where they can discuss via video-conferencing and also recieve a transcript of all that was said in the meeting for future reminiscing.
Challenges we ran into
Main hurdle was integrating the Speech Recognition ML library called Whisper by OpenAI due to its tedious setup and our previous inexperience with this library. Eventually we were able to overcome this by carefully re-running all the installation steps and fixing a few chocolatey related bugs. We even had further issues for making an API out of it with constant confusion as to how to send the video recording file to the Whisper Algorithm. We figured that out with time by first hitting the recording storage API, getting the recording-key and passing it to another Flask-API (python) which then hit the whisper commands after downloading the file via python libraries and the given recording key.
