+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.
-You can access the iText library website [[http://itextpdf.com|here]].
+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
-You can download the library from [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/itext/|sourceforge]].
+**Important requirement**: The Authoring App must be usable by visually-impaired users
-Here is the [[http://itextpdf.com/examples/iia.php?id=12|Hello World]] example.
+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.
-**March 12**: Two more sample inputs. Your program must produce some reasonable output. Any tablature elements we haven't seen so far can be ignored.
+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
