Technologies in Play

• The website is created using the latest version of Angular.
• Speech is passed through Watson's Speech to Text API for a quick translation
• The translated speech is then put through Microsoft's Text Analytics API to determine key phrases in the audio file.
• These key phrases are then run through Microsoft's Bing Image Search API to find relevant images to build our slideshow
• The results are then streamed to the original webpage and synced with the audio.
• Let the entertainment ensue!

Requirements

• Node
• Yarn (Could use npm install, but I've only tested with Yarn)
• http-server (installed globally)
• @angular/cli (installed globally)

Running the Project

After cloning the project, you will need to open 2 terminals. Anything that looks like this should be run in the terminal.

First Terminal (Extra server to deal with cors issues)

1. Navigate to the root directory of the project
2. yarn install
3. node test_server.js
4. Occassionally you will have to check back to make sure the server is running. Sometimes it crashes because of a bad request.

Second terminal

1. Navigate to the "slideshow-generator" folder
2. yarn install
3. ng serve
4. This will host the server on port 4200.
5. In a web broswer, go to http://localhost:4200
