discussions, the platform will provide live captions and
transcription. These features will be customizable and
adjustable based on individual needs. Moreover, integration
with assistive technologies like screen readers will be
implemented.
Real-Time Collaborative Tools: The platform will include
features like shared document editing, instant messaging,
video conferencing, and task management, which will enable
users to collaborate in real-time. These tools are designed to
ensure smooth workflows and minimize communication
barriers that often hinder productivity in distributed teams.
Multi-Device Compatibility: Given the prevalence of
different devices in the workplace, Real Connect will be
designed to work across multiple platforms, including
desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. This flexibility
will ensure that teams can collaborate anytime, anywhere,
regardless of device.
2. Methodology
The development of Real Connect will involve several
phases, outlined as follows:
Phase 1: Requirement Analysis
In this phase, a comprehensive analysis will be conducted to
identify the specific needs of the target users (e.g.,
multilingual teams, users with hearing impairments). FIG.1: Data flow Diagram
