Ember

Inspiration

My classes often utilize textbooks, I don't like that they are a wall of text, but they are useful.

What it does

Takes text and splits it into bite-sized chunks, generates spoken representation for each chunk, and generates summary at the bottom.

How I built it

Used a svelte website deployed on Vercel. Generates audio using the Eleven Labs API and summarizes using the bart_summarisation model by slauw87.

Challenges we ran into

Ran into challenges with the website UI and APIs. My go-to language is Python and I need to learn a lot of new things to make the website work.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It runs and is really helpful with studying. I am proud that it takes a different approach than traditional textbooks.

What we learned

I learned a lot about building and deploying a website.

What's next for Ember

I want to connect a Python backend to allow for increased functionality. I feel I am limited by the fact that most of the libraries I wanted to use are only in Python. Getting that backend would allow me to use those libraries and give me the computing power of a server.
