Risk Mitigation
According to both the feedback from the design review presentation and our evaluation, the most significant risk is the NLP process. To further guarantee usability for visually impaired groups, we would add detailed features including audio instruction that could help the customers to use the product more efficiently and a “start recording” and “end recording” audio notification when pressing the button to let the users know when they could start giving commands.
After the design review presentation, our group met again and went over the feedback together. Based on the feedback, we distributed the tasks by assigning each part of the design report to different group members.
Design Changes
An audio instruction will be added to the web app to guarantee that the users can know the standard commands in advance. A “help” command is introduced in all pages of the web app so that the users could trigger the audio helper at any time.
A “start recording” and “end recording” audio notification should be added each time the button is pressed. This ensures that the visually impaired groups could know when they can input vocal commands and when to stop. More details of the implementation will be included in the design report.
Updated Schedule
The primary focus for next week is the design report. Each section of the report is assigned to one or more group members and should be reviewed before submission.
