Guess where the cuss word is!
Inspiration
Real-time news reporting is almost here—if only there was real-time censoring technology.
What it does
Feed in an audio file with cuss words, outputs the audio file with the cuss words silenced, in real time.
How we built it
In Java, we translated speech to text using IBM Watson's Speech-To-Text function, then silenced the parts of the audio corresponding to the blacklisted word.
Challenges we ran into
Stereo audio doesn't work with the audio reader/writer.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We worked with things that we weren't familiar with (IBM Watson), and this is the first software hack for one of our members.
What we learned
We learned how to work with Git, Maven, HTTP, IBM Watson, audio processing.
What's next for AutoCensor
We are trying to auto-censor songs, and allow compatibility with other audio formats and even video.
