What I did this week:
This week, I worked on additional features for autocorrection system for the text editor. I focused on building the rule-based autocorrection engine, which handles common typos, capitalization fixes, and safe word replacements using a dictionary-style approach. In parallel, I also explored possible machine learning–based autocorrection strategies. Additionally, I encountered an integration issue with the modifier keys (Shift, Control, Option, Command): after Joyce merged fingertip detection into the full pipeline, these modifiers stopped functioning correctly when tapped, so I have been debugging and tracing the event flow to restore proper toggle behavior.
Scheduling:
My progress is slightly behind schedule due to time spent diagnosing the modifier key integration issue.
What I plan to do next week:
Next week, I will add a visual signal for Shift presses and use that signal to dynamically update the on-screen keyboard layout, displaying the shifted key characters while Shift is active and reverting when it’s toggled off. I will also fix and refine several user interface elements, including the functions of “Focus on Editor” and “Select Camera” buttons. (we should always use the front camera of mobile devices, and that camera view should be mirrored to fit in our finger detection module.)
Verification (Web Framework + Text Editor):
For my part, most verification is functional rather than heavy-quantitative, but I still have a few tests planned. For the web framework, I’ll run basic end-to-end checks on different devices (laptop + phone) to make sure the camera loads, switching cameras works, calibration starts correctly, and the UI buttons (focus editor, select camera, black mode, etc.) behave consistently. I’ll also measure simple responsiveness by logging the time between a simulated key event and the character showing up in the editor, just to confirm the typing pipeline isn’t adding noticeable delay. For the text editor, I’ll use small scripted tests that feed in sequences of pressKey/insertText calls (including toggling Shift/Control/Option/Command) and check if the final text matches what we expect. I also prepared a small list of common typos to see whether the rule-based autocorrection fixes them correctly without breaking normal words. This gives me a quick accuracy snapshot and helps make sure nothing behaves unpredictably when we integrate everything together.
