MadTalk

Deployed Site

MadTalk is a fun take on MadLibs: the app prompts the user to provide whimsical words that replace words in a text snippet. The text snippets are drawn from saucy romance novel synopses. The app uses the browser's speech recognition interface (supported by chrome) which allows the user to input the words by speaking. The app then reads the completed game.

MadTalk uses this backend to serve up the app's text snippets and word types: Words Backend
