README
ChatPaths is a communication app for helping non-verbal kids communicate while on the go. Currently it supports:
- Building and customizing personalized communication paths
- Contrasting color scheme to support visual needs
- Smart sorting algorithms to allow one-touch reordering of speech paths based on usage
- Manual ordering and anchoring of paths you don't want sorted
- Text to Speech prompting
- Voice recording of prompts for better contextual and familiar cues
- Multiple user profiles to support therapy and classroom environments
- Localization support for english, spanish, french, and hindi## Structure

### Image Search
Built in search functionality for paths uses translations that can be found [here](modules/builder/src/main/res/values/images.xml).
The function `getSearchString` found in the [UriHelper](modules/builder/src/main/java/com/gy/chatpaths/builder/UriHelper.kt)
is used to convert a search query from the user's native language to english, so that we can access
the appropriate resource string identified in english. This is a bit weird, and there's probably
a better way to do this.Basically, if you add a new image to the system, you have to add a corresponding `search_` entry.
The application will iterate through each image and retrieve the translation. If the string
being searched for is part of the string name, then it is selected for display.## Incorporated Works
Chatpaths makes use of a number of 3rd party visual resources as well as compositions and
modifications of these resources to provide visuals. These include:| Site | License |
