Technical Specifications • Takes in image, produces string • String is interpreted through regular expressions • User chooses to send the string to one of the following:  Text-To-Speech engine  System memory  Appropriate action • Strings can be sent to and retrieved from server The Capstone Experience Team TechSmith Project Plan 10

System Architecture The Capstone Experience Team TechSmith Project Plan 11

System Components • Hardware Platforms  Windows 10 desktop  Windows Phone  Windows Tablet  Raspberry Pi • Software Platforms / Technologies  Languages: C#/XAML  Developed in Visual Studio 2015  Windows Optical Character Recognition Engine  Microsoft Azure Server The Capstone Experience Team TechSmith Project Plan 12

Testing • Lots of manual testing is vital • Test on development machine first • Deploy to other devices using direct connection or emulators • Have to test under many different conditions  Lighting and position will not always be ideal The Capstone Experience Team TechSmith Project Plan 13

Risks • Windows 10 Development Environment  The development environment is prone to various bugs which could result in a showstopper  Mitigation: Researching various workarounds and documentations posted online • Potentially Inaccessible Tools  Our software needs to meet accessibility standards  Mitigation: Gather accessible tools The Capstone Experience Team TechSmith Project Plan 14

Risks • Lack of experience with Raspberry Pi  Deployment to Raspberry pi is a requirement during the latter portion of our project  Mitigation: Research software development on Raspberry Pi • Unfamiliarity with Microsoft Azure  Microsoft Azure Cloud will serve as a backend-cloud server  Mitigation: Looking up documentation for Microsoft Azure The Capstone Experience Team TechSmith Project Plan 15
