It was a good learning in the month of October by contributing to open source every year. I successfully completed Hacktoberfest 2020 & 2021. Cheers to all other contributors, maintainers, sponsers, organizers of #hacktoberfest. Let the festive ends with joy!

Echo

Description

Web Speech Recognition & Speech Synthesizer API allows users to recognize the speech and also synthesizes speech from text. This app demonstrates the usage of web API. This app recognizes what the user speaks and converts it to text. With the text passed to Speech synthesize API echos the voice of what users have spoken before.

Background

Web API for Speech Recognition & Speech synthesizer reduces the dependency on residing on service vendors. And also Web API runs directly on the browser with no dependency. These API could be greatly helpful to those looking for Speech Recognition & Speech Synthesizer services for their applications

How I built it

Using HTML, Javascript & Web API

Stroop Test

What I built

A basic task that demonstrates the Stroop effect occurs when there is a mismatch between the name of a color and the color it is printed on. Adding Speech Recognition to recognize the answers makes it more interactive and the Speech synthesizer will guide you through the test

Description

The famous "Stroop Effect" is named after J. Ridley Stroop who discovered this strange phenomenon in the 1930s. Here is your job: name the colors of the following words. Do NOT read the words...rather, say the color of the words. For example, if the word "BLUE" is printed in a red color, you should say "RED". Say the colors as fast as you can. It is not as easy as you might think!

October is coming to an end, taking Hacktoberfest with it.

What I Learned From Hacktoberfest

Happy to complete my first #hacktoberfest season. Hacktoberfest showed me first steps to the open source contribution. It also gives us great pleasure while our commits impact great open source projects. Thanks @digitalocean and sponsors for this great initiative.
