Chattergram - a chat app that transcribes voice messages!

A month ago, I received a series of voice messages from a friend that lasted 15 minutes

Fifteen

Minutes

By the time I listened, I could have

Taken a shower
Prepared lunch
Call him and quickly speak about what bugs him
Write the code for this hackathon (which, in fact, I did during the time he was busy recording the second series)

I talked to my gf about it that day. How much I would prefer if people just called. Or wrote a text message.

Fast forward, I read the announcement here. And well, you can imagine what instantly came to mind.

What if stop word-filled monologues like this one could be transcribed?

What problem does Chattergram solve?

Let's talk more serious. More often than not one finds themselves in a situation in which they cannot listen to spoken text.

Because they're in a silent part of the train (is that a thing outside of germany?). Or in a crowded office/public space. You could read - but not listen to - a message
Maybe they are in a hurry and just want to skim through the text very quick
Due to a disease that causes them to be hearing impaired

The sender could still record their message. Just now the receiver can choose whether to listen or read.

Overview of My Submission

Chattergram is a full stack Typescript app that transcribes voice messages into readable text.

It aims to make voice messages more accessible by giving the receiver a choice. Read it. Or listen.
