Final Project – hardymar – Design Document
Overview
For my final project I’m building an application for my girlfriend. She is a speech therapist student and recently has been showing me some of the applications people in her major buy for the iPod and iPad. They seemed really simple to make and she was complain about the lack of applications for the android market. She described about 5 app she wish someone would make for the iPad and all them sound relatively easy to make so I decided to make an app that incorporates 3 of them.
Part 1 – Rhyming App
The first part of the app is a simple test of whether two words match. The client can tap on either word to hear a text-to-speech spoken version of the word. If they believe the two words rhyme they tap yes, otherwise they tap no.
Quiz Activity
At the end of the quiz there is a summary screen activity showing the therapist how well the client preformed and what word pairs they had trouble with.
Summary Activity
Part 2 – Syllable Segmentation App
Syllable Segmentation is the act of figuring out how many syllables are in a word. For this app the client starts by choosing the difficulty in the SegmentationMainActivity. Easy would have only 1 or 2 syllable words and hard would add 3 and 4 syllable words.
Main Syllable Segmentation Activity
In the quizActivity the user can tap on the word to hear a text-to-speech spoken version of the word. He then taps the main tap button for how every many syllables they believe the word to have.
Quiz Syllable Segmentation Activity
This part would have a summary screen similar to part 1.
Part 3 – Syllable Blending
The final part of the app would be syllable blending. Syllable blending would involved the word being pronounced syllable by syllable by the text-to-speech feature of android. The user would then say then combine the syllables and combine them to make a single word. The top of tap would be flipped controls for the therapist and would allow them to mark whether the client could pronounce it correctly and move on to the next one.
Again, this part would have a summary screen similar to part 1.
