mChemID: Android Application for Chemical Reactions using Speech Recognition

In the ever-evolving field of chemistry, the need for efficient and user-friendly tools to identify chemical reactions has become crucial. mChemID, a mobile application that leverages speech recognition technology to enable users to input chemical elements verbally and retrieve corresponding reactions from a cloud-based database, streamlining the learning process for students, educators, and researchers. It utilizes speech recognition technology to identify chemical reactions by the speech input as chemical elements. Objective: The primary objective is to develop a user-friendly mobile application, mChemID, that utilizes speech recognition technology to assist individuals in identifying chemical reactions by chemical elements through voice input. The application aims to provide a convenient and efficient tool for users to retrieve chemical symbols and corresponding reactions from a cloud-based database. Methodology: The Android platform’s built-in speech recognition functionality is used to verbally input chemical element names. Google’s speech-to-text service is used for transcription, ensuring accurate recognition. The application’s design and development are carried out using Android Studio, a popular development environment for Android applications. Cloud-based connectivity is integrated into the application to fetch and access the required chemical reaction data from a central database. Outcome: The mChemID offers a user-friendly and efficient means to facilitate and simplify the understanding and study of chemical reactions, contributing to the advancement of chemical knowledge and research.
