What was wasting time
Mandarin calls and text on screen were hard to follow. The work also needed to stay private.
What changed
I built a Mac app that turns speech into text. It shows Chinese and English side by side. It can read text from a screen and save notes.
Result
The app helps a person follow calls. It runs on the Mac.
How it works
- Get the call audio.
- Turn speech into text.
- Change the text to English.
- Read text from a screen image.
- Save the notes.
Tools, explained
- macOS was used to build this tool.
- BlackHole was used to build this tool.
- This tool turns speech into text on your own device.
- OCR was used to build this tool.
- Markdown is a plain text file type.
