# Speech to Braille translator
## Overview
This project can be found [here](https://github.com/Azuremis/speech_to_braille_translator) on my github.
The app currently translates English speech into Braille.
The speech-text translation is done using OpenAI's [Whisper](https://openai.com/blog/whisper/) [model](https://github.com/openai/whisper). The text-braille translation is done using
the [PyBraille](https://pypi.org/project/pybraille/) library.
## How to use
1. Go to the [demo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Azuremis/Speech2Braille) page
2. Click the record button and accept the browswer request for microphone access
3. Speak a few sentences then click the stop button when done.
4. Click the submit button to see both the English trascript and the Braille translation
## Disclaimer
This is a portfolio project so I don't advise using it for any serious purpose!

Thank you to [Dave](https://twitter.com/azezezaaa), I used his [RememberThis](https://github.com/azezezaaa/rememberthis_OpenAIWhisperHackathon) code to help me grok
how to use the OpenAI's whisper. I also found LabLab's Whisper [guides](https://lablab.ai/tech/whisper) really helpful.
