What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).
This week, I worked on the initial research and testing of the SpeechRecognition library. I was able to implement some code for speech-to-text conversion in Python using my computer mic. I also researched components for the PCB, as well as a suitable microphone to use. I also did some initial prototyping/code for word splicing, but that is subject to change as we progress with the design. We also finalized the plan for our project, creating a Gantt chart for deadlines.
Is your progress on schedule or behind. If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
My progress is mostly on schedule, but the PCB design is slightly behind schedule. Michelle and I will work on that in the mean time while parts are being ordered.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
By next week, I hope to have a PCB designed and ready to send to manufacturing, as well as all necessary parts ordered for initial prototyping. I also hope to finalize which speech library we will use in Python, and iron out some details regarding word splicing.
