Three Computer Science students Steven Kolln (2015), Michael Meluso (2015), and Daniel Seminara (2014) participated in a hackathon held at Rutgers University on October 12-13, hackru.org. Their project, completed within the 24 hour competition, integrated Google’s voice recognition software and a lyric API that permitted the software to search for a song by a small sample of the song’s lyrics. Using a third service, Rdio, their application fetched the identified song and played it for the user. This project won the sponsored prize from Rdio, which was a full year’s subscription of the Rdio service. Congratulations to Steve, Mike, and Dan!
