DeltaHacks - AssemblyAI at McMaster University Hackathon

What's this blog post about?

Over the weekend, AssemblyAI sponsored DeltaHacks, a student-run hackathon at McMaster University. The event saw over 300 participants and resulted in 95+ projects built within 36 hours. Among these were three notable projects using AssemblyAI's Speech-to-Text APIs: Interviewy, UmmLess.tech, and Annotate.io. Interviewy is an application that helps users practice their interview skills by analyzing sentiment and key topics in video recordings. UmmLess.tech improves public speaking abilities by providing feedback on sentiment, filler words, and speaking speed. Lastly, Annotate.io generates dynamic study sheets based on lecture content to increase active learning. AssemblyAI was impressed with all the projects and looks forward to next year's DeltaHacks.
