About the project

Disable students find it really difficult to pace up with the fast moving life of university. Coming from a closely affiliated background of working with disable students from both Concordia University and McGill University, I realised that lecture transcription and note making is a real struggle and not a lot of students come forward to help disable students.

Solution

We develop a web application; with just one click, it captures the lecture, transcribes it, makes the notes and generates a hand-written PDF of the same. Also, on the website, if a student signup, they have access to community, forum, live chat support.

Not only this, we also provide a unique lofi music player on the main website itself, as youtube can be a distraction during studies, and this feature also helps in increasing the retention of our website which in turn increases the SEO ranks.

Also, if a student is registered with this app and want to subscribe to our 5 am motivation, that is a really helpful feature for students to remain motivated. Inspired from Robin Sharma's 5am club book, this application sends motivational messages everyday at 5am.

Special Mention

We ended up winning the second prize ;)
