1. NEW REQUIREMENTS New requirements – American Sign Language – Recently Generated Sentences Issues with Requirements Options for Implementation Choice and Rationale

2. NEW REQUIREMENT “The vocabulary should also include sign language icons for people who may not have any speech capability at all but may be well versed in American Sign Language (ASL) symbols.”

3. NEW REQUIREMENTS Issues with new requirement: – Those who speak ASL also read text Textual description and descriptive icons should suffice ASL provides little benefit over existing features – ASL has different syntax than English Beyond our scope to translate between the two at this stage

4. NEW REQUIREMENTS Options for Implementation: – Allow user to view descriptive icons or ASL icons – Allow user to generate video representation of ASL sentences – Use system camera to interpret ASL Choice and Rationale: – Any implementation of ASL is beyond the project’s scope – Any implementation has minimal added value – ASL will not be included in the HOPE system

5. NEW REQUIREMENTS “The system should also save and present at least the last 5 phrases / words constructed by the user through the system, conveniently from the main screen.”

6. NEW REQUIREMENTS Issues with new requirements: – Sentences are generated in more than one place Certain locations for sentence / phrase generation result in different types of sentences. Should recently generated sentences be separated? – Recently generated sentences already available in a different location Is location of this feature important?

7. NEW REQUIREMENTS Options for Implementation: – Access location: Talk screen, Home screen – Includes sentences generated in: Talk, Customize Talk, Quick Search Choice and Rationale: – Accessible from both Talk and Home Benefit to ease of use outweighs cost to implement – Include sentences generated in Talk The cost to implement others outweighs the benefit
