smart converter Dazhi Wang, Jiachen Wang, Bilal Raja, Ashran Bakth Help web-browser users understand all unfamiliar units instantly without the need to use Google
Elevator Pitch We work with online shoppers on Amazon who are trying to manually do unit conversions every time they see an unfamiliar unit in product description. Our SmartConverter is a Chrome Extension that enables them to see all the units converted automatically when they load the webpage. Unlike AutoConvert what sets us apart is that SmartConverter can highlight all the converted units and won’t drag server down.

It would make my life easier and I will keep this extension.” “A pop-up window for manual conversion can be helpful” "If I need to convert all units on a page, I wouldn't want to see the highlighting, just the converted units"
