Mind blowing design. I like that you also included a business aspect in your design. Your idea is also almost similar with mine just that the use case is slightly different. If you're open to it we could maybe do something together.

This was the first idea that came to my mind when I saw this hackathon, and I need an app like this in my life
Way to go man!

Thanks man! I appreciate it. At first I had an idea on a security tool that would utilize Deepgram's speech-to-text API but the idea was too vague

Orim Dominic Adah • Apr 3 '22

What do you mean by vague? Unclear?

Jordan Tingling • Apr 3 '22

Yea, I couldn't figure out how exactly I was going to integrate the Deepgram's speech-to-text API into this security tool. The tool was going to be in the form of a "tile" like that "find your keys, wallet, phone" tool and the idea was that you would be able to speak with it and convert that speech-to-text and somehow lock and unlock your house, garage etc, the idea was too vague / unclear therefore I didn't go with it.

Whoa man! You rock! You really do man!
This is aweeeesommeeee!!

I love the idea. Parts of it remind me a bit of Blinkist.

Perhaps, if you incorporated a service like Deepl, this app could be something for older learners as well. Imagine you have a spanish audiobook and would like to understand what's being said. You could have it written in spanish AND your native tongue.
