AVA

Project A.V.A., the Aritificial Verbal Assistant.

Test it out: https://ava-theta.vercel.app/

Inspiration

The inspiration for creating AVA (Artificial Verbal Assistant) came when we had difficulty travelling to different countries and communicating with the locals.

What it does

AVA translates from text, speech, and images! AVA can also speak back to you, to help you learn new languages!

Set Up Locally

These steps will help with setting up your own AVA:

Step 1. Clone, Fetch, or open a CodeSpace on Github

Start by either one of ways. Clone or Fetch this repo.

Step 2. Download dependencies from node

On a terminal, change to the AVA directory.

cd AVA

Once there, we will first go to the client directory, then download the node dependencies

cd client &&
npm install

Step 3. Download dependencies using pip/pip3

Now head over to the server director, from AVA Then download the python dependencies with pip/pip3

cd server &&
pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 4. Running the Program

Once finished downloading, we can start running AVA. Begin by running the server component by changing server/src file.

cd server

Now run the main.py file with python/python3

python src/main.py

Note: The backend is setup to run on the deployed environment so it might not run, the frontend is setup to use the deployed version and some changes might be needed to run locally.

Your server should be running now. Now open up another terminal and change to the client/src file

cd client

Now run the node env

npm run dev
