Inspiration
Our inspiration stemmed from helping people with dyslexia cope with different aspects of their mental disability, utilizing visual and auditory therapy that can help combat some effects of dyslexia at the very least.
What it does
Our website mainly revolves around different 'minigames' that each cover a different aspect of dyslexia coping, involving topics like eye coordination, pronunciation, and so much more. We aim to help people who are dyslexic practice these actions repeatedly with varying difficulties.
How we built it
Although we had a lack of knowledge regarding JS, CSS, and HTML, we utilized the resources at our disposal to learn more about syntax and different modules that could help us majorly, including things to do with text-to-speech and voice recognition.
Challenges we ran into
One challenge we ran into while coding our project was poor time management which led us to have to rush the code after lunch. Some other problems were implementing new skills we had to learn on the go into our code which took a lot of time and effort to figure out.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
One accomplishment that we are proud of is completing our first-ever Hackathon together. Our code was top-tier in our opinion incorporating speech-recognition which was an incredible feat that we achieved on the pronunciation page, making it easier for the user to learn more about pronunciation and reading.
What we learned
We needed to use JS, CSS, and HTML to effectively tackle our problem regardless of what little we knew, and as a result, we learned a good amount of the different syntaxes at work, and different aspects of speech-recognition and text-to-speech, which we had an especially hard time with. Each minigame was a new adventure due to how they all used separate mechanics to achieve their respective goals.
What's next for ProblemSolverIV
Our next plans revolve around incorporating many more minigames in our site to fully cover dyslexia, as well as working towards improving our current code so it's error-free. Along with this, we aim to make a more interactive UI that can fully cater to a user's needs despite their learning disability.
