My First Week with the Kavita Project

First of all, I thank my predecessors and contemporaries in the project for all their work to date; and of course, Dr. Ordoñez for inviting me to contribute. Beyond a worthwhile endeavor in developing accessibility tools for programming, working with spoken interface software presents many opportunities for insight into how much more we can integrate computing into daily life.

Building on the progress of the past few years, I, along with Valerie and Andrea, have been configuring Simon to write code on behalf of us, instructed (mostly) by our voice. As we implement the recommendations of the previously administered survey, we're taking note of limitations as well as how to work around them in our effort to create something truly useful.

As well as using the previously set up Simon, I've been trying to get the program running in my computer - technical post to follow. I have run into some hurdles, but as these are worked around I'll learn more about Simon and a little about my computer as well.

This has been my first post, stay tuned for more.
