## Devpost submission (written by the team)

### Inspiration

A problem space in speech where people with speech impairments are unable to communicate effectively with other people.

### What it does

We built an AI voice assistant which autocompletes and finished sentences if the input sentence contains elements such as stuttered words or the sentence is incomplete.

### How we built it

We used OpenAI models whisper for getting audio transcriptions from user voice input and gpt 4 for generating responses. on the client side we use gradio for the UI.

### Challenges we ran into

Our idea originally incorporated a vector store (FAISS) and OpenAI embeddings to augment gpt 4 responses by finding similar sentences. Mapping impaired speech to correct speech was a challenge as dataset was not fully complete.

### Accomplishments we're proud of

We produced a working product where the AI assistant is able to complete and formulate correct sentences for the user.
