Target User

Our product is targeted at students who wish to learn their classmates' names.

Special features

• You are able to add names to the database through the record menu
• We have tooltips for the icons in the practice menu.
• You can stop recording by clicking the record button again.

Building and Use

• An executable jar has been included at the project root. Please execute it by typing java -jar NameSayer.jar into a terminal.

• For the names database to work, all recordings must be unzipped directly to the names/ folder (for example, names/se206_2-5-2018_15-23-50_Mason.wav). We have done this for you.

• Bad quality ratings are stored in bad_quality.txt in the current working directory.

• Attempts are stored in names/attempts/<name>/

• User data is stored in the binary file NameSayer.dat, again in the project root.

• There are 3 main menus to our application

  • Practice, in which you can select recordings to practice using the check boxes by each name. Clicking 'start' will take you to a practice interface where you can create practice attempts.
  • Listen, which allows you to view/remove database entries, and you can view your previous attempts by clicking on the ellipsis next to each name
  • Record, which allows you to create new entries for the database itself (not attempts).

Please refer to the NameSayer user manual (included) for detailed instructions on how to use the program.
