The Project
VoiceAssist AI is a multilingual voice assistant I built for bank branch counters during the iDEA 2.0 hackathon. It lets customers speak in their native language while bank staff respond in English — bridging the language gap in Indian banking.
The Problem (Before)
The app supported 6 languages but was missing Kannada and Urdu — two major Indian languages covering millions of bank customers. The code also had no proper script detection for non-Latin scripts.
How GitHub Copilot Helped
I asked Copilot to analyze the repo and suggest what was missing. It identified the language gaps, then automatically created a PR adding Kannada Devanagari script detection, Urdu Persian/Arabic script detection, TTS fallback handling, and updated the frontend language list from 6 to 8 languages.
The Result (After)
Languages expanded: 6 → 8
Kannada + Urdu voice input via Whisper STT
Proper Unicode script detection
Full verification flow in both languages
