[ossrp-control] Re: Features So Far

Excuse me for stating the obvious Will, but I'd like to add a few more
things.  Since you know me, you can guess where I@m coming from <smile>
 
* Ability to use the command line
* Ability to set preferences relating to the screen reader
* Ability to make these settings specific to a particular application
 
 
I'm not sure the mouse support belongs in alpha 1 but I guess it could be
useful to some.

Subject: [ossrp-control] Features So Far


Hi,
 
Here's my understanding of the important features that should be
investigated for version 1.  It doesn't feature everything, but then
there'll be versions after 1 in which more things can be brought in.
 
Functional requirements:
* ability to read *windows* login screen
* ability to work with widely used types of applications, e.g. word
processors, spreadsheets
* support for TTS engines that use the SAPI interface, as some of these
provide clearer speech than current formant synthesisers
* ability to use mouse or equivalent functionality
* must work with User Interface Automation
* ability to update components over the web
* support for Braille devices
 
Architectural requirements:
* based on .Net Framework/WinFX
* component based architecture
 
* Research requirements
* investigate mechanisms to provide more efficient interaction mechanics
* investigate techniques to convey all the semantic information contained
within a GUI through auditory and tactual/haptech transmission media.
* investigate means for clearer speech
* investigate perceptual psychology techniques for semantic conversion of
web based graphical turing tests to text
 
Project management requirements:
* risk analysis
* avoid scope creep
* requirements management
* beta 1 to be made publically available April 2006
 
These are fairly high level requirements, and if anyone feels anything is
being missed or would like to include anything, then say now.
 
Will
