3. Technology 3 Mobile apps were built on native iOS & Android platforms, while leveraging CommonJS modules to rapidly develop a cross-platform application that supports both device. Google Translate API was used as a Text-to-Speech API to generate localized content.
4. Project Description 4 The purpose of this project was to help children with literacy challenges from elementary to middle school. Our solution was to create a gamified tool that children could have easy access to, and something that would encourage them through their journey. The iOS and Android app both stores 100 popular nouns for English and Spanish as database. It includes audio and text-based content.
