We're so excited to see what everyone is going to come up with! We're doing a live kickoff over on our @DeepgramDevs Twitch Account Friday, Mar 11 at 1:30pm EST and we're going to be dropping ideas, tips, and inspiration over on our @DeepgramDevs Twitter account all month long.

You can always reach out to us for help and support. Hope to hear from folks soon!

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.

Just completed my project, Decifer. ✨

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

✍️ Check out the full blog post here:

🐙 The entire project is open-sourced here:

Generate your audio transcripts with ease.

Decifer Codemagic build status

Blog post about this project: dev.to/sbis04/decifer-generate-tra...

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!

I have one interesting question here,
i just started exploring deepgram, i wonder how deepgram is different than other STT Python libraries out there ? as there are so many opensource python libraries are available for example github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech !

Collapse

Deepgram uses end-to-end deep learning, which allows us to have more accurate and faster transcription. And with custom models, it's more scalable to individual needs.

This might be useful:

This hackathon really helps a lot to understand the use of API's in real world application.
Although I built a small application but still from here I learnt about how to use api to speech to text conversion. As well working with javascript and API , it's really awesome.

I'm still trying to track down the specifics on this so I can answer your question. I believe that the age eligibility is tied to the prizes. So you're welcome to submit to any category, but I think that you won't be eligible for the prizes. I will make sure I get that clarification for you. I would love to see you contribute and I love your excitement here.
