How to aid people in developing their verbal skills leveraging the power of modern technologies?

This project solves this by providing a platform for people to practice their verbal skills without a need for a partner or a group of people.

The platform is built in React and uses the Web Speech API to provide a speech recognition and synthesis functionality to speed up the process of learning.

Features

  • Speech recognition and speech synthesis for various parts of the app
  • Adding categories of words to fill in the content
  • Practicing words from the categories to memorize them
  • Guessing words from their definitions
  • Writing jokes using 2 or more words by making associations between them
  • Having statistics on practice and guessing so that you can try to remember things faster
  • Morning pages section to help you get your thoughts out of your head and onto paper. This is a common technique among professional writers and stand-up comedians to help them get their creative juices flowing.
