Non-Functional Requirement Issues

The system should be quick to understand(the learning time should be very low) and very easy to use.

Issue: Typically old people are not good at working with latest electronics like smart phones.

Solution: Use large, colorful, self explanatory icons. Also only a maximum of 6 large icons will be shown on the screen.

The system should be customizable to every user in the context of making sense of an visual clue as the user wants, how he/she wants to view the clues and what speech should be generated (if the user wants to generate it

Issue  : " as the user wants" and "how he/she wants to view " Solution: 1. Customization a. Pictures b. Audio of frequently used sentences c. Audio of the selected vocabulary item   d. Audio cues while navigation \selection    e. Navigation through the system only by audio

2.  Size/Location of the icons based on the disability and category.

Non-Functional Requirement Issues

The system should be easily extensible to accommodate the following typical variations: variations in interface, language, definitive needs of the user, new features, new hardware etc.

Issue: Different phones have different screen sizes. How do you display icons in proper sizes on small screen phones?

Solution: Application will change the number of icons based on the size of the screen.
