Treasure Box Braille (TBB) is a device that helps kids learn how to read Braille. TBB presents Braille characters/words to the user who then responds by pressing buttons. Educators can load different scenarios to teach different letters and keep the kids entertained.

We will write a piece of software to help educators create these scenarios. We will call it the Authoring App. The Authoring app will provide facilities to

• Create the flow of the scenario (ask questions, receive answers)
• Record audio
• Save the scenario in the appropriate format
• Test the scenario using the provided software

Important requirement: The Authoring App must be usable by visually-impaired users

Since there are not enough TBBs for each group (and also because they are expensive and hard to replace), we provide software that simulates the TBB. This way, as an educator is preparing a scenario with your authoring app, they can try it out to see if it works. See the Week 1 slides (click on Course Outline) for instructions on how to get the starter software.

The starter software contains example scenarios that you can run to get a feel for what this system does.

New requirement (added on Feb 27, 2018)

Your system must log all actions the user takes and keep count of how many times each feature is accessed

Based on the log data, add keyboard shortcuts to the most frequently used features. Such features should be easy to access with a mouse as well
