NeuroVoice AI
(The Emotion Detector)
I created a project called NeuroVoice AI, an AI-powered web application that converts speech into text while also detecting the speaker’s emotions in real time. The idea came from something I noticed in everyday conversations—people don’t always say how they truly feel. Someone might say they’re “fine,” but their tone, pitch, or voice can suggest something completely different.
That observation made me wonder if a computer could understand not just what we say, but how we say it. To explore this, I built a system that captures voice input, analyzes features like pitch, tone, and volume, and uses artificial intelligence to predict the speaker’s emotional state. Through this project, I wanted to show how technology can go beyond basic speech recognition and better understand.
NARSEF:
On March 6, 2026, I attended the North Alabama Regional Science and Engineering Fair (NARSEF). I was honestly very nervous going into it because this was a much more advanced and technical competition compared to the science fairs I had participated in before.
There were many strong projects and talented students, which made the experience both intimidating and exciting at the same time. Even though I felt nervous, it motivated me to focus, explain my project clearly, and do my best during judging. Overall, it turned out to be a really valuable experience that helped me grow more confident in my work and my presentation skills.
NARSEF Recognition & ASEF Qualification
Overall, it was an amazing experience, especially since this was my first science and engineering fair. It was really motivating to see my hard work recognized, and it made me even more excited to keep improving my project and exploring more in AI and technology.
At the fair, I was really excited to receive several recognitions for my project.
I earned a NASA “Award of Excellence,” which was an incredible honor and one of the highlights of the experience.
2. I also received a state qualifier ribbon, which means I advanced to the next level of competition.
3. In addition, I was awarded another certificate that is still being delivered, so I’m looking forward to receiving that soon as well.
ASEF:
On April 11, 2026, I attended the Alabama Science and Engineering Fair (ASEF).
I was honestly very nervous going into it because this was the next level of the North Alabama Regional Science and Engineering Fair (NARSEF). This was going to have inventors and innovators from all over Alabama.
There were tons of strong projects and talented students. I felt confident that I explained my project clearly and did my best during judging. Overall, I learned many valuable lessons for the future.
ASEF Recognition:
For NeuroVoice AI, I received the “Coding with Commitment” award from the Broadcom Foundation, which was a really exciting recognition. Along with the award, I was given a Raspberry Pi kit and a $250 gift card for the Pi Shop.
It was especially meaningful to me because it recognized not just the final project, but the effort and consistency I put into learning and applying coding throughout the process. Getting hands-on hardware like the Raspberry Pi also opened up new opportunities for me to explore more advanced programming and real-world electronics projects in the future.
