Speech notes

Our project provides an ability to work with personal notes in text and voice formats. When recording a voice note, it is then translated to text and is available in a convenient form. The application makes it possible to create and manage personal notes securely.

The feature of conversion of a voice note brings many potential benefits related to conventional information medium such as text. This benefits include searching notes by text and sharing the information via classical text-based channels. Also, this approach enables hands-free experience making it more flexible and appropriate for people with special needs.

The product uses an increasingly popular speech recognition technology which is currently is not supported in most similar products. Our project is aimed to fill this gap and provide pleasant and consistent user experience while bringing an ability to keep personal information secure.
