Background Current solutions to this problem exist – Smart Pen – iPhone However, very expensive (more than $200) Main goal of SAiNT is to be low cost
Synchronization Synchronization of text with audio is also a solved problem –.lrc file was developed to sync karaoke text to music – File includes lyrics and time stamps No solution exists to make audio and text synchronized during recording
Proposed Design
Implementation Hardware – Filter and amplify captured audio – Capture keystrokes and apply timestamp – Microcontroller integrates keyboard and audio input Software – Microcontroller programming – Interface with computer and perform text search
