Newspeak Phone Corvisa

Get current, online-sourced news right from your phone, even without an internet connection

This is the repo that houses all of the code used for Corvisa's voice and text messaging API. It communicates with a sister app created on Ruby on Rails.

Project Description

Newspeak gives users a spoken digest of the most popular news on the New York Times feed (later, we would like to incorporate other news services). Users initiate our app by calling a phone number. The automated track takes the user through a menu of news categories and reads abstracts for the user selections. The user can also have a full article link sent to their phone via SMS.

Challenge

Newspeak was created as part of Techweek Chicago's 2015 Hackathon. We had 24 hours to develop Newspeak and submit all code.
