General TermsDocumentation

1.INTRODUCTION

This application will teach children the 3RS or the

foundations of a basic skills-orientated education which are

reading, writing and arithmetic. Since it is designed for

kids, we will only be focusing on teaching them the basics

such as letter recognitions, letter to word pronunciation,

writing words, addition and subtraction of 1 to 2 digit

numbers.

This will provide them different levels of learning that the

child could play according to his knowledge. In the

beginning there will be an assessment to determine what

level the child must start and assessments on every lesson

or levels to measure how much did the child has learned.

This will have a sound/voice detector to check the childs

pronunciation.

2.SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

2.1Scope

Sound/Voice detector to determinepronunciations

Composed of different stages or level todetermine the childs knowledge

Learning Statistics Assessments are in a form of games and quizzes Uses Samsung voice recognition engine

2.2 Limitation

Single User mode Designed for children ages 4 to 6 Will only run in touch screen android phones Internet is needed to be able to use the

pronunciation checker.

3.RELATED WORKS

[1] Teach Me: Kindergarten is an educational app which

allows you can fine tune your child's learning experience.

You can adjust the amount of correct answers a child is

must make in order to earn a reward; you can determine

which awards will be available (most are virtual "stickers"

to place on one of several backdrops.[2] The Teach

Me Kindergarten App provides strong practicing

opportunity sight words, spelling, addition/subtraction,

with rewards (you earn coins and can spend them to buy

stickers to put on screen backdrops). This app keeps track

of the progress of multiple players, and you have the option

to choose which subjects to work on. Also good for

practicing number and letter shapes.

[3] Read Write Phonics teaches children the 44 phonic

sounds of the English language, the letters and letter

combinations which represent them, how the basic phonic

sounds are blended together to form words, and how to

write the letters of the alphabet by tracing dotted letter

forms.

Read Write Phonics has been designed with teaching

children in mind; clear and simple flash cards are used, the

font is the popular Sassoon Infant font developed especially

for childrens first books and traditional learning aids and

the navigation is simple and intuitive, children from as

young as 3 can manipulate the App.

[4] Two important factors considered in this thesis,

Optimized Character Formation on Mobile phones are

providing a visual and audio feedback to language learners.

Visual feedback is an essential part as it provides the

learners the ability to see how an alphabet is written and

audio feedback for listening to the pronunciation of the

alphabets and practicing it. Existing language-learningapplications on Android platform are quiz based and

guessing the words, which are based on the clues provided

by the application. Few other applications provide a rich set

of libraries to translate sentences into foreign languages.

However, these applications have not fully capitalized the

capabilities of touch screen coupled with the power of

mobile-based multimedia.

4.SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Figure 1: Schematic Representation of how sound

detector will work

Voice recognition engine- accepts voice inputs but needs

internet connection to work

Check pronunciation- it will filter the sound from voice

recognition engine to be able to detect a clear voice.

Decode- the voice will be decoded to text

Match/mismatch-check the text matches the programmed

text on how the word is pronounced (spelling based on how

the word sounds/pronounced)

Voice output- will speak if you are wrong or right
