We’re a team of dynamic individuals who recently graduated from a coding BootCamp. Our inspiration stems from the language barrier issue, and we’ve taken on the challenge to address it directly. The result is Talckatoo, a chat app we’ve developed using SocketIO, Express.js, and React. Our goal? To dissolve language barriers through real-time translation, enabling meaningful connections across diverse cultures.
What issues does our app resolve?
- Language Barrier: Talckatoo provides seamless language translation, making it easier for individuals from different language backgrounds, especially elderly users who might not be familiar with translation tools. This feature reduces communication obstacles and saves time.
- Integrated ChatGPT: Our app integrates ChatGPT, allowing users to access its capabilities without leaving the app. This means they can enjoy AI-powered assistance without any extra hassle.
Key Features:
- Text messaging with real-time translation
- Voice-enabled transcription and messaging
- AI-powered “@birdie” bot for user inquiries
Our backend tech stack: Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, SocketIO, Typescript, chatGPT, Rapid API
Our frontend tech stack: React, Tailwind CSS, Typescript, WhisperAI
We’re excited to delve into the details of how we created this app in the next part.
You can experience the live version of Talckatoo at https://talckatoo.me.
We welcome your feedback and suggestions, so feel free to get in touch. If you’re curious about the nitty-gritty, you can find our code repository here: https://github.com/Talckatoo.
