WhaleSay 🐳

A English to Whale translator!

CircleCI All CircleCI Stable CircleCI Develop

WhaleSay is a app for translating English text or speech into the Whale language "Whalese". Visit whalesay for more information!

Note:

This project is currently on hold, as my limited spare time is being used to develop CycleCheck. Which unlike this project, I will actively use in my day to day life.

Highlights

  • Android application
    • Soon to be on the Google Play store!
  • Beautiful
  • Translates text or speech
    • Speech requires the Microphone permission
  • FREE & NO ads!

This project is inspired by Talk To Whales. Thanks to Arthur Sousa for his inspiration.

Permissions

  • Required:
    • Internet: Used to talk to our science servers to translate your English into Whalese.
    • Access Network State: Used to determine if you have internet. (Internet is required to translate!)
  • Optional:
    • Microphone: Required if you wan't to use the Speech to Text feature, you can opt-out and use the Text only functionality.

Installation

WhaleSay is not yet available on the Play store yet, as it is not complete. You can however download the latest .apk from CircleCI

Contributing

All contributions are welcome!

This repository uses ktlint git hook, so every time you git commit it will run to make sure your code fits the style guide.

I recommend running ./gradlew ktlintFormat before commiting so it can auto-fix some common problems.

Note

Our "scientists" are actually frauds and don't exist. WhaleSay actually uses Googles Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech Cloud API's to generate the "Whalese". Shhh don't tell anyone ;)
