I was going to ask how does Deepgram differ from other services like Twilio, then I found this great post on how you can use them both together: developers.deepgram.com/use-cases/...

Thanks Deepgram!

Im so very very happy when I read about Deepgram Hackathon. Because Im deaf myself and cant wait to start read accurately through everything now. Havent really been online last weeks because of sickness. BUT better late than never right?

Even it ends soon I wants to let you whose participates in this feel free to contact me to ask any questions if you wants to know anything. Maybe my deafness will be useful to help out :)

Seriously, cant describe how much grateful I'm feeling right now <3

I'm going to share this with my fellow deaf friends + communities to let them know about this lovely Hackathon.

Hi, can someone just briefly explain what exactly we have to do in "Innovative Ideas" Challenge. Do we just have to come up with some idea or prepare some docs over it as well? And after I created my DeepGram account I got some free credits to use, are they permanent or do they expire after sometime?
And thanks for another Hackathon challenge :)

You're only required to write about the idea. The template for innovative ideas submissions gives some guidance for things we'll be looking at. We do encourage mockups or some audio or visual aid to support your writing if possible.

I posted a little implementation that uses NextJS -- my hope was that it'd provide a good example for those who want to get started consuming the Deepgram API using NextJS. Enjoy! dev.to/cerchie/fun-with-deepgram-a...

It's a cross-platform mobile app built using Flutter and it can communicate with the Deepgram API using a completely serverless architecture 🤯 .

Try out the app: appdistribution.firebase.dev/i/a57...

A cross-platform mobile app that helps you to generate transcripts either from a voice recording or by uploading an audio file. The project uses a totally serverless architecture.

Architecture

The mobile app is created using Flutter which is integrated with Firebase. Firebase Cloud Functions is used to deploy the backend code required for communicating with the Deepgram API.

App overview

The Flutter application consists of the following pages/screens:

  • Login Page
  • Register Page
  • Dashboard Page
  • Record Page
  • Upload Page
  • Transcription Page

For authenticating the user inside the app -- Login and Register pages are used. Authentication is required to generate unique accounts for users required for storing the generated transcripts to Firestore and facilitate cloud-sync.

Register Page

The Dashboard Page displays a list of all the transcripts currently present on the user's account. It also has two buttons -…

Hello! I finally started reading the deepgram docs and making their first tutorials. I must say, it's super cool 🚀. Now the thing is that I have many different ideas and I want to implement more than one. Is it allowed to post more than one submission for the build challenge? Or I must participate with a single submission? 😓
Thanks for organizing this amazing hackathon!
