Real-Time Transcriber & Translator to 100+ languages

This is a submission for the AssemblyAI Challenge : Really Rad Real-Time.

What I Built

I built a platform where users can start a live stream in english, and listeners can join to receive real-time translations in over 100 different languages.

This could be is great for a multi-lingual conference or gathering where the speaker is speaking, and the audience see the subtitle-like translations in a language of their choice.

When the stream ends, the broadcaster can also download an audio recording as well as text transcript.

Journey

After familiarizing myself more with AssemblyAI documentation, I was really excited to give this project a go!

This has always been something I've wanted to do, but I didn't really know where to begin. When I saw how fast and accurate the AssemblyAI transcriber is, this helped me make progress.
I could focus on the other pieces of the platform and leave AssemblyAI to do its magic πŸͺ„ πŸ§ƒ

I'm excited about the AssemblyAI future and I hope they can support more languages for transcribing in the future. I'd like to be able to what a movie in another language and have live subtitles on the fly 😎

This has been a journey I'll remember πŸ™‚
