Abstract: Through communication, an individual can express his ideas, feelings, and various aspects to others. Communication via the internet is becoming increasingly important these days. Through online communication, users can communicate with others remotely quickly, and conveniently irrespective of their physical location. With this in mind, communication applications should be able to instantly transfer files and messages with no delay or with minimal delay, depending on the transmission medium. For such a system to work, it needs a database that is updated in real-time to keep track of all the data sent. Google Firebase is a service that provides a real-time database server and various other functions. Firebase makes it relatively easy to develop communication-based applications. The main purpose of this paper is to initiate real-time communication between users through a software application that works on android devices connected to the internet such that the communication gap between the users gets reduced. Google Firebase is used to handle the communication process of the backend and text translation and image optical character recognition are among the features included in this application.
