OtterMic: Requirements

OtterMic provides voice-powered task management, allowing busy, on-the-go parents to stay organized without needing to type.

Functional Requirements

  1. Voice Activation: Users must be able to activate OtterMic via a clear and accessible UI element (e.g., a microphone icon).
  2. Speech-to-Text: The system will accurately transcribe the user's spoken words into text.
  3. Natural Language Processing (NLP): OtterMic must understand the user's intent from the transcribed text to perform actions, such as:
    • Creating Events: "Schedule a dentist appointment for Leo next Tuesday at 3 PM."
    • Setting Reminders: "Remind me to pick up the cake on Friday afternoon."
    • Logging Notes: "Note that Sarah needs new shoes for school."
    • Sending Messages: "Tell Alex I can pick up the kids from practice tomorrow."
  4. Contextual Awareness: The system should understand context from the conversation (e.g., "next Tuesday") and ask clarifying questions if the command is ambiguous.
  5. Action Confirmation: All actions generated from voice commands must be presented to the user for confirmation before being saved.

Non-Functional Requirements

  • Accuracy: High accuracy in both speech-to-text transcription and intent recognition is critical.
  • Performance: The time from voice command to action confirmation should be fast and feel responsive.
  • Accessibility: The feature must be designed for hands-free or near hands-free operation.
