	Frankly speaking, if you receive a proposal from a more knowledgeable applicant, which would be probable to a great extent, I won’t mind losing to them. I admit that I may not have spent a great deal of my life programming and I have a lot to learn,but I’m happy with the way I’m picking up this field. I consider getting into GSoC under SugarLabs more of a learning opportunity that I’d like to get than anything else.		<br/>Frankly speaking, if you receive a proposal from a more knowledgeable applicant, which would be probable to a great extent, I won’t mind losing to them.

	:After the most basic test cases are passed, I will start finalising the basic architecture of the engine. At this point of time, error handling would not be focused on as much as getting the correct results while making the program modular and program flow streamlined. One of the things that we will have to fight is noise. For this, I plan to introduce an optional feature which would take 3-5 times the time taken for a single run however would give better performance in a noisier environment. The audio signal would be consecutively passed by a noise reduction filter (such as one by sox) and that the output audio fed into the engine.		:After the most basic test cases are passed, I will start finalising the basic architecture of the engine.

	:The final output that would be accepted would be the maximum occurrence of words from all the signals combined. This might have an adverse effect when, on cleaning the signal, a word might get split in 2 or combined in 2. I plan to select those words with the more common occurrence (1/2 words) for the final output.		:The final output that would be accepted would be the maximum occurrence of words from all the signals combined.
