## AI overview

A report on HackTO, a Toronto one-day hackathon where participants built and presented applications using sponsor APIs. It highlights several projects that used SoundCloud, including loop creation, a joke-recording service, and a text-to-speech blogging application with potential accessibility benefits.

## Source excerpt

On Saturday, I joined over a hundred other hackers at HackTO. This has become a regular event in the Toronto tech scene, thanks to excellent organizing by Leila Boujnane and Corey Reid. SoundCloud joined several other API providers, including Atomic Reach, Context.IO, FreshBooks, Shopify, TinEye, Twilio, Trendspottr, WordPress and YellowAPI. The idea behind the event is simple: find a team (or go solo) and build an app using one or more of the APIs presented by sponsors. All apps have to be demoable by 5pm at which time you pitch to the judges who select the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners.
