FormLingo
Translate any government form into a language you actually read.
What I’m building
Photograph a government form — a permit, a benefits application, a school enrollment — and FormLingo explains every field in your language, tells you what document each part needs, and warns you about the mistakes that get applications rejected.
Why I’m building it
My aunt missed a benefit she was owed for two years because the form was in a register of Filipino she doesn’t read well. Bureaucracy in a language you barely understand is a wall. This turns the wall into a door.
What the tokens unlock
Pledged credits run the OCR that reads messy scanned forms and the translation model that rewrites officialese into clear, step-by-step guidance.
