Software System for Children

A software system, specifically for kids to help them to familiarize and use computers with minimal training at an early age:

• From a children points of view using a computer is difficult


• Current available software for children only concentrates on animation and the color of the GUI.


• The software system would use language and words for the commands that are not difficult for children to understand.


• The software system would be colorful use cartoon and fantasy animation and picture to avoid children getting bored.


• It would be extremely user friendly as children are more likely to do more mistakes than adults (e.g. use of commands such as do, undo etc.).

Virtual Blackboard

A virtual blackboard, which would allow children to write and draw more expressively and creatively than it, can be done on a normal blackboard.

• Using a blackboard and chalk can be boring for children, as they do not get attracted to the traditional methods.


• The virtual blackboard would allow children to write in different fonts size and colors.


• It would allow them to show their creativity and expression, in drawing colorful images.

Voice to Melody converter

The aim of this system is to attract kids more into learning music. A system that can convert children’s singing into a musical melody.

• The system uses various audio input devices.


• It would have a display monitor, which would show how the converted melody is played and performed by an instrument.


• It would also show the notes for that melody so that children gets familiarize with reading musical notes.
