So far starting this assignment my goals for the module are to take a leap into digital accessibility. Specifically, accessibly controllers for the disable. I wanted to design a controller that was solely for someone with one hand to use because I got some inspiration from my brother who is only able use one hand. Another thing is I hope to be able to 3d print out a decent prototype so everyone in the audience can you know feel it in their hand. It’s one thing to describe a product it’s another to describe it and then Suprise them with a finished piece being able to see it in real life. What I really hope to produce is a starting point for a product so later on I can possibly make it viable functional and ready to use.

The resources that helped me along the way in creating my product and design it can be thanks to free graphic design software that is out on the internet that allowed me to put my thoughts into a real picture that I could build off of. Another great resource I had was the digital knowledge center that taught me how to design and print a 3d printed product. What I’m really proud of is that I was able to actually create a product that you could feel in your hand as well as the audience being able to see my idea in real life.

For my project the question I asked myself was What text analysis software can you use to understand the most about a book. For that the software’s I used wore Voyant, Chat gpt and Zotero. What I found was that Voyant is a great text analysis tool it gives a whole bunch of data from readability, avg words per sentence the number of times a word is used, I found that you could be able to tell what a story is about based on the amount of the use of words. The next one I used was ChatGPT some of the pros where that chat gpt could analyze frequent word usage can even summarize the whole book for you and different facts and amount of punctuation. It has some cons though since ChatGPT has no access to the internet you have to copy in paste long text and if its a 250pg book good luck. On the other hand Zotero didn’t offer munch except incorporating citations while you write and helps organize your text. In the End the most useful tool was Voyant.
