In 2025, applicants were tasked with creating an interactive app playground on the topic of their choice to showcase their passion for coding. Here’s how Lee Zhen Yu describes his winning submission.
Having hearing difficulties, I know the challenges of communication. At a science competition, I met a deaf friend whose project taught sign language - inspiring me to do more. Hear Me Out is a real-time speech-to-text app that provides live captions, making conversations accessible for the deaf and hard of hearing. Built with SwiftUI and Speech Framework and Transcription Logs, it’s a seamless tool for inclusive communication - because no one should be left out. 🗣️📱
