Hey I have completed 3 missions on DeepGram's dashboard. Is it considered as a project for submission?

Dhravya

no that's just a tutorial that shows how to use the deepgram api

Oh! so through that api tutorial we can build projects?

You might find our deepgram hackathon page helpful for getting started. We have examples or support posts for each category. There are some example projects you can use to get you started. The Innovative Ideas category is a no-code category; so if you're more comfortable writing a blog post, then you can share your idea for what could be done with Deepgram.

We're also holding open office hours on our @Deepgramdevs Twitch on Fridays at 1:30pm edt, so if you have questions you're welcome to ask them live as well.

Gram Gamers: Use Deepgram in a game. You may build an entirely voice or text-based game, a 2D or 3D game, or more novel playable experiences.

Alright, I got a free idea I'm gonna throw out there for anybody that wants it. I'm not a developer so have no fear that I might change my mind and build something. 😅

I'd love to see a sing-along game! Y'all remember Disney sing-alongs? I think it'd be so cool to be able to have an AI that you could feed video and it would visualize the transcript/subtitles in a similar way to Disney sing-alongs with a little Micky Mouse silhouette bouncing on each syllable! If you don't know what I'm talking about just check out this video below. 👇

By the way, I'm super siked for this hackathon!

That's a really cool idea. Don't forget about the "Innovative Ideas" category that doesn't require you to build anything. This would be a great submission there.

Generate your audio transcripts with ease.

Decifer Codemagic build status

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

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 - one for navigating to the…
