Requirements

Should have basic computer skills and should be very interested to create android apps

Description

In this highly competitive environment of App development, your app needs to be far ahead of others.

You can see apps that perform multiple operations - they store the data, use other apps to serve their users, arrange the information properly, Present the information in a most desirable format and much more.

So, do you think Can App Inventor 2 meet those requirements?

Well, if you don't know I would like to share this good news that you can create such apps with App inventor by using advanced components like Variables, Lists, Tiny DB, WEB API and Extensions.

Most of the App Inventor's don’t bother about these components and hence, are losing the ability to create amazing apps. Some don’t know about them while some have tried and ignored using them due to the difficulty.

This course is a complete Hands-on experience which makes it easy for you to master those advanced components. By the end, you will create a World-class translator app with the following benefits:

You will use the famous and most reliable Google Translate API.
You will create an auto-translate text box that translates right when the user is typing the text.
You will provide a translation function for about 70+ languages. Hence, people around the globe can use it.
You will allow the languages to be selected using a list picker and a spinner.
You will allow saving translations so that, the users can easily access the most translated sentences.
You will also translate the speech of the user directly into the translated text. Therefore typing is eliminated.
And finally, you will create an amazing section in our app i.e; Voice to Voice translations section where two people with can have an easy conversion in different languages.

So, there is a lot you can learn from this course.

Hence, stop limiting yourself and try some advanced stuff right now!!

Who this course is for:

Anyone who wants to create android apps
Anyone who wants to learn ai2 app inventor
Anyone who wants to use google translate api in there project
