Navigating the world with disabilities, mental illnesses or physical illnesses can be more challenging. Knowing what’s around you can be particularly difficult. The more that we can do to mitigate stresses and encourage inclusion, the better. Leada is specifically designed to help the disabled by providing learning tools that are accessible.

Due to fewer priorities given by educational providers to issues that may support the disabled, anyone with a learning disability finds it hard to sustain a normal life and thrive in educational environments or practices. This is more common in developing countries, in areas such as curriculums, teaching and learning materials, infrastructure, environmental issues, and special programs such as sports and games.

Helping them lead a normal life can ultimately be our responsibility, and Leada helps with just that. It provides you a platform with learning tools that would help you converse with people having disabilities, as well as help the disabled carry normal conversations.

For the text-to-speech application, we used the HTML5 SpeechSynthesis API to get the computer to convert text to speech. None of us have ever used an API before, so trying to figure out how to use it was difficult. We used Google MaterializeCSS to create a quick CSS template for our website. For both the Text to Braille converter and Text to Sign Language converter, we took the user's input, took each character in the input phrase, and converted each single symbol, creating a phrase. For the game, we would take each picture of a sign language latter and assign it to it's corresponding letter. Then we would get the user's input and determine if it was the correct letter or not. The website was made using simple HTML,CSS, and Javascript.

For designing the mockups, we used Figma, and integrated it along with the website using a color scheme, for a clean and a minimalistic look.
