Kenneth Frimpong, a student at the University of Ghana, has developed a Twitter bot that helps calculate E-levy charges on any amount.

The bot called Ghana Information Hub automatically calculates and tweets the Electronic Transaction Levy (E-levy) charges.

How the Twitter bot works

Joy News reports that the bot receives the response when a user tags @ghanainfohub and asks how much they will pay for E-levy on an amount of money. The user would have to wait in under a minute for feedback about the exact amount to be paid.

Frimpong, a final-year student in the Department of Information Studies at the university, explained that ''one has to sign up or log in to a Twitter account and tweet ‘@ghanainfohub how much e-levy do I have to pay on an amount of money?’ – for instance, GH¢1,000.00.

The individual then receives the retweet, ‘you will pay GH¢15.00 on GH¢1,000.00’. The Twitter user receives the response in less than a minute, and this service is available 24 hours every day of the week, he said.

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh reported that a Ghanaian-British innovator and entrepreneur, Danny Manu, has developed earbuds called Click that auto-translate more than 40 languages, Keepthefaith reports.

Unlike similar inventions, Click does not require the internet. The wireless Bluetooth headset works by pairing to a smartphone, and the earbuds then automatically detect the language being spoken and provide a spoken translation within a sentence or two.
