No Caption
Meet No Caption
No Caption is an iPhone/iPad app that uses artificial intelligence to label images and present mulitple lyrics containing those labels.
Inspiration
Scrolling through apps like Instagram you always notice people using musical lyrics as captions. This sparked an idea in my head to automatically generate lyrics when given a picture. This is when I started messing around with image processing AI and a search method to find lyrics. In no time, No Caption was born.

Tech Talk
No Caption is a native iOS application that was soley developed by me using Swift and Xcode.
The UI is done programmatically using auto layout, no storyboard or xib files. MVVM design pattern is implemented to populate the model, communicate with the viewmodel, and update the view.
Google’s Vision API is used to get labels from images and Genius’ API gives lyrics, artist’s name, and album information to the app. Structs, decodable, and URLSession are used to collect and parse the json data.
