Just Talk an instant messaging and VoIP calling based android application

Abstract

This application provides a platform for people to communicate and connect on a voluntary condition of anonymity. This application aims to conceive a community of volunteers, who interact with the users of the application via VOIP calls and instant messaging to empathize, sympathize or just connect on a human level. This application will act as a catalyst for people to share and talk about the happy and sad moments of their life with an anonymous volunteer who can be anyone. This would be useful as communication can help a great deal in every aspect of life. Talking to anonymous people can be useful in many situations and circumstances. The best part being of the application is that the volunteers since they are anonymous will be non-judgemental. The user needs to authenticate using a username & password. When the user is authenticated it gains to the list of volunteers for either instant messaging or making an internet call .The list is populated using a parse backend. Every user has an option of volunteering simply by turning on a toggle which once done implies that the user is now a member of the volunteer community. Then it can set its availability status as a volunteer .After call completion the user is required to rate the volunteer. This would help us to maintain a consistent user experience as it would provide us with the overall rating of any particular volunteer.
