CIS 498

These are the proposals and reports of the project that I worked on for CIS 498 Senior Project class. The proposes to use Android Studio to create a translator and a game app that make use of voice-command. This project demonstrates my attempt to learn Machine Learning for audio classification and the actual products.

CIS 498 Project Proposals (Revised)

Student Name: Trang Ngo (Katherine)

Instructor: Dr. Schep

Semester: Spring 2018

Project 1: Mini-translator Android App (English to Vietnamese)

1. Project Description

This project uses Java and XML in Android Studio to create an Android app that allows translation to Vietnamese of some simple English words or sentences (processed by voice recognition function of the device). This built-in translator app will be useful for English-speaking travelers to travel to and around Viet Nam, since the lack of mobile data and Wi-Fi in the country may render Google Translate app unusable.

1. Expected Product

The completion of the prototype app is expected. The prototype should be able to function properly on the provided device - the Samsung Tab 3.

Project 2: An Android Chess Game with Voice Control

1. Project Description

This project utilizes Java and XML in Android Studio to create an Android app that allows voice command for a game of chess (example of voice command: “ Knight to F3”). The voice command capability of this game will be beneficial when further developed and improved to use in Virtual Reality, holograms, or video games for the handicapped.

1. Project Deliverable

The completion of the prototype app is expected. The prototype should be able to function properly on the provided device - the Samsung Tab 3. Due to the time constraint, the game app may not be able to recognize and deny illegal chess moves.
