This Matlab project is to help blind people visualize stock data

What it does

It fetches stock data for three months from the Yahoo web API using the user entered stock ticker and plays the tune that corresponds to the variations of the stock

How I built it

I used Matlab to build the software

Challenges I ran into

Large variations in stock prices led to extreme frequencies of audio. I had to do some normalization to keep it in a reasonable range

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

What I learned

Fetching data in Matlab from the web API. Generating sinusoidal midi music from midi notes.

What's next for Stock data visualization for the blind

Integrate it with Speech recognition API and automatically fetch the company ticker using the user's company name search query.
