1. Lets Talk 9+ Emulator e-Tech for Tots CS590 - Ashok Sahu

2. Lets Talk 9+ Emulator Introduction and Motivation Develop and evaluate a disseminable Distance Learning model, to help personnel serving young children with commnn disabilities. Synthesize state of the art-multimedia, interactive and simulation strategies. Build an e-workshop for trainers and and other personnel, to interact with each other, provide feedback on the simulations and train children to use devices.

3. Lets Talk 9+ Emulator Introduction Emulator: Software to imitate a computer hardware platform

4. Lets Talk 9+ Emulator Assistive Technology Assistive technology products are designed to provide additional accessibility to individuals who have physical or cognitive difficulties, impairments, and disabilities. Different Kind of Products: Braille embossers transfer computer generated text into embossed Braille output. Speech recognition or voice recognition programs, allow people to give commands and enter data using their voices rather than a mouse or keyboard. Voice recognition systems use a microphone attached to the computer, which can be used to create text documents such as letters or e-mail messages, browse the Internet, and navigate among applications and menus by voice. Text-to-Speech (TTS) or speech synthesizers receive information going to the screen in the form of letters, numbers, and punctuation marks, and then "speak" it out loud in a computerized voice. Using speech synthesizers allows computer users who are blind or who have learning difficulties to hear what they are typing and also provide a spoken voice for individuals who can not communicate orally, but can communicate their thoughts through typing. Talking and large-print word processors are software programs that use speech synthesizers to provide auditory feedback of what is typed. Large-print word processors allow the user to view everything in large text without added screen enlargement.

5. Lets Talk 9+ Emulator Scope of MS-Project Limitless – Develop emulators for at least two hardware devices Make them available to therapists across the web. Provide content in an ease to use and modifiable manner. Provide an animated and interactive teaching module

6. Lets Talk 9+ Emulator Probable technologies IBM’s interfaces and framework for developing Assisitive devices. GWT for building a very rich user interface, on the web. JMF to help provide audio and image content. Java Free-TTS library to help in speech synthesis. There could be more technologies that we may use in the course of time.

7. Lets Talk 9+ Emulator Platforms to be supported Build primarily for desktops, running LINUX and Windows platforms. Try porting the application to any phone supporting the Android platform. Try porting the application to the i-phone, once Apple releases the SDK and the development environment.

8. Lets Talk 9+ Emulator Project Guides Will be working under the supervision of Dr. Kang. Dr. Aller Sonia will be the project guide as this was her vision.  Communication Disorders Director, Tech for tots, at USC UCEDD at Children's Hospital Los Angeles
