Inspiration

We wanted to help people with Dyslexia as one of our friends suffered from it when he was a child

What it does

The app is a way for dyslexic kids to learn alphabets and wording. The app helps kids by teaching them how to pronounce alphabets and trains them to spell sight words.

How I built it

We built this app using python. All the code was written in python and used the tkinter library to create the UI. The audio was downloaded online from Freesound and implemented using the winsound library.

Challenges I ran into

Everytime we closed the app, the app forgot all the user's progress and information. To solve the issue we utilized a library called pickle, which on command creates a pickle file that can store information offline. Now when we reopen the app it collects the info from the pickle file and displays it, like a game save.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We are just proud to have finished our first hackathon thanks to synhacks. This really opened our eyes to the wonders of coding and all the good we can accomplish through coding

What We learned

Through creating this app, we learned about tkinter and how to make UIs in python. Some of our members in the group never have used python before. This was a new chapter for them in coding as they got more and more experienced in how to use python to create complex apps using more and more advanced functions within the python language.

What's next for Dyslexia Trainer

Whats next for our dyslexia trainer app is to keep building on it so we can publish it as an android app on the google play store since the play store has so many users and we will try to get the app in many hands as possible . We also want to keep building on the vocabulary and words used in the app so it doesn't get repetitive and also add more advanced features such the app being able to send you notifications of when to start practicing and the app giving you medals and awards for doing a good job.
