Help our university-BR project

PCA

Hello, greetings we are college Brazilian IT students, and we want to built an app Similar to Hands Free For Web.

Our project is based in accessibility, and we want to make web more easy to people.

So we are 1st grade and we don't know much about JavaScript, so if you could provide your code to us, so we can make an Brazilian version of it would help a lot.

Response so we can talk, thanks.

Hi PCA

During the last year, I've been publishing the extension's modules, the extension code was built as a mono-repository and I'm trying to split it into several sub-modules. I haven't count them but I guess they are going to be like 50 modules plus the core. It will take me another year to make the entire codebase open source. At some point we'll get there.

In the meantime, the extension could be extended, everybody is able to add new modules supporting new voice commands or languages. i.e. Brasilian Portuguese.

If you want I'd love to help you to implement compatible modules, and if they are good additions I can include them as native modules of the extension.

Thanks for reaching me out and post in the forum

PCA

Yes. would be great you help us to extend the modules to Portuguese.

So we are begginers, what the previous knowledge we need to know to start implement the modules?
Can you help us from the very beginning if it's possible!

Thank you from Brasil

I can help you since the beginning, it'd be great if we can work together and bring Portuguese support to the extension.

Here the following steps
1. Create a Github repository (language type javascript) - You
2. Upload to the repository empty translation files - Javi
3. Fill the translation files with the proper Portuguese translation -You
4. Load into the extension the new language translations - Javi

Required skills: Github, Git

In case you are also interested in support new kind of commands, i.e. "go to <your university name>"
it'd would require basic notions of javascript.

Could you bring more information about the university project? e.g. How many people will work in this project? What's the university name is? How long can you work on the project? What would you consider a big success for the project?

Thanks for being interested in accessibility projects

hello again, here is the Github repository - https://github.com/Unigranrio-pca/handsFreePt.js

Our university name is Universidade do Grande Rio or Unigranrio - RJ. There will be 5 people working on it, we have until middle june to complete the task, a big sucess would be, learn more from this experience, and provide accessibility to Brazilian people with a simple extension in their browser

We were think in add new commands like you said. i.e. "go to Unigranrio", just saying that and the site opens, with no google before, because when we tested the handsfree extension, and said "open a website facebook" a google search "Facebook" appears, not the site, we want to improve this feature to the extension, by adding famous sites like Globo (principal news site in brazil) and others.

Thanks

javi

Great!

I think we can achieve the goals by the end of May and improve everything in June to make it perfect.

Completed steps: yay
1. [DONE] Create a Github repository (language type javascript) - PCA

Following steps to do:
2. Assign repository collaborators - PCA
3. Upload to the repository empty translation files - Javi
4. Fill the translation files with the proper Portuguese translation -PCA
5. Load into the extension the new language translations - Javi

I'll need access to the Github repository. In the "Settings" section of the new repository, there is a subsection called "Collaborators". Could you add me as a collaborator? My GitHub username is "sljavi"

As soon as I get access to the repository I'll start adding the files with text in English to translate them to Portuguese.

In the meantime, you can start defining the new commands. i.e.
- When the user mentions "go to Unigranrio" the website "[URL_HERE]" is opened in a new tab.

If for some reason you have crazy ideas about voice commands don't hesitate to share them with me. I don't know if we could implement them but at least we could try or review and say why are hard to implement. Crazy voice commands examples
- "translate [words] to English"
- "where the Unigranrio is?" <- this is not so crazy
- "share with twitter"

I'll review the type of commands you want to support and let you know how they can be implemented.

Have a great week

PCA

Cool

We just add you as colaborator, our group will discuss some features we can improve in your program, as son as we decide you'll be notified.

Have a nice day.

javi

Good morning PCA

I just uploaded several files with English texts to translate to Portuguese.
During the week I'll be adding the remaining files to translate (27).

let me know if you have any questions
Javi
