1.1

PROJECTIDEA

Idea of project iscoming backto my mindonce Isearch some words meanings intoweb and I did not find any suitable meaning for this word and I had to search a lot into

books to find meaning of this word. Then I decided to design a application which help

me and also students to find out what are meanings of their desired world from hard to

easy word.

1.2 PROJECT MOTIVATION

Some reasons build my thoughtfulness towards this program for android as many

professionals and students don't seem to be satisfied while using other mobile

dictionaries to search appropriate word but making nervous while find more hard words

from dictionary.

1.3 AIM/OBJECTIVE

Aim of this application ishelp to improveeverystudent and professional a completeapplication with the help of this application

1.4

BACKGROUND OFISSUES

Many students have several queries and that they don't have

enough resources to sort out from dictionaries from academic

libraries or buy expensive e- dictionaries, so I make an androidapplication with the help of it student can find solution for grammar

mistakes with ease of access.

1.5 PROPOSED APPROACH

I approach during this application to directly professionals and

students will check any difficult word from application from their

phones thus saving their time to find out proper word to their quries.

1.6 SCOPE OF PROJECT

There is pretty much scope for this development because it make easiness for student

to learn fast and accurate words and student do study likely.

them regardingtheirissuesin study and that wepointed outthat their problemsare short and can be solved with a small application launched in their mobiles. So

when they found solution for their spelling and grammar problems they will take keen

interest in study.

PROTOTYPE GANTT CHART

2.2.1 Requirement

we have begin gathering initially data regarding our project from 1st Apr 2013. I t takes

around five days to collect enough data which could initiate me to support our

application.

2.2.2

Quick Design

we design a quick design so it can be modified easily and can be extended or

reduced according to customer desire.

2.2.3 Build Prototype

in this step I make mobile application with most of its content and I

ask users to check rather it is ok or not. So when this stage

application is checked and if any query is found then it is very easyto modify the application at this stage.

2.2.4

Customer Evolution

User or customer check the application for five days and found

some problems he tell us and give some suggestion for his

requirement. So this phase help us to find what is more beneficial for

our application.

2.2.5

Refine Prototype

At this stage we modify our application according to customer need

so we can built completely a mobile app which is hundred percent

according to user friendly and provided all feature for what purpose

it is designed.

2.2.6

Program Ready

At this phase we complete the application which is user friendly and

providing all of features with no mistake and students can easily use

it to improve their English.
