Amparo: applying for food aid without reading a single word

This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition What I Built Every year an enormous amount of aid money goes unclaimed. Not because it runs out, and not because nobody needs it, but because of something much stupider. The form is the wall. If you are blind, if you never learned to read well, or if you arrived last month and don't yet speak the language the form is printed in, the help you are entitled to is sitting behind a document you cannot fill in. You need a neighbour, a caseworker, or a volunteer to sit down with you. So you wait. Or you never apply at all. I wanted to see if the wall could just be removed. Amparo completes a real aid application entirely by talking . No reading. No typing. No form. It asks a few simple questions out loud, you answer in your own words in whatever language you speak, it reads back what it understood so you can catch mistakes, and it hands you a finished PDF to take to your local food bank. The part I care most about is that it accepts answers the way people actually give them. Nobody says "household size: four". They say: "We're me, my mum and two little kids." Amparo works out that there are 4 people in the household, 2 of them children , and moves on. It does the paperwork thinking so the person doesn't have to. You can also correct it at any time, about any field, however long ago you answered. Say "no, I said three, not four" and it fixes that value and carries on. That mattered more than I expected. A voice interface without a correction path is a trap, because you cannot see what it wrote down. Demo The moment worth watching: one messy spoken sentence, and three fields fill themselves in on the right. Code lluisestape-upc / Amparo Apply for aid entirely by talking, in your own language.
