a) Regulatory Policies

• The application must comply with all relevant data privacy regulations, such as GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California, and other local data protection laws.

• Any use of AI tools must adhere to ethical guidelines and standards set forth by bodies such as IEEE, ISO, and national AI ethics boards.

b) Hardware Limitations

• The application should be compatible with common mobile devices (iOS and Android) and must operate within the processing and memory constraints of these devices.

• Image scanning may require a minimum camera resolution for accurate text recognition.

• The app must function efficiently under varying signal strengths and network conditions.

c) Interfaces to Other Applications

• APIs used must be compatible and maintain security standards.

d) Parallel Operation

• The application should support multitasking, allowing users to scan images, convert voice to text, and use AI tools simultaneously without significant performance degradation.

e) Audit Functions

• Comprehensive logging and audit trails must be maintained to track user interactions, AI decision-making processes, and data access.

• These logs should be secure, tamper-evident, and accessible for compliance checks.

f) Control Functions

• Users must have control over data input and output, including the ability to correct or override AI-generated content.

• There should be clear settings for adjusting scanning accuracy, voice recognition sensitivity, and AI tool parameters.

g) Signal Handshake Protocols

• The application should support robust signal handshake protocols (e.g., XON-XOFF, ACK-NACK) to ensure reliable data transfer between devices and servers.

• Error detection and correction mechanisms must be implemented to handle data transmission issues.

h) Quality Requirements

• The app must demonstrate high reliability, with minimal downtime and fast response times.

• Quality assurance measures, including regular testing and updates, must be in place to maintain performance standards.

i) Criticality of the Application

• Given its role in assisting with translation and communication, the app must be highly dependable, especially in scenarios where accurate translation is critical (e.g., medical, legal).

j) Safety and Security Considerations

• The application must incorporate robust security measures to protect user data from unauthorized access, including encryption, secure authentication methods, and regular security audits.

• Safety features should include user consent for data processing and clear explanations of AI tool functionalities to avoid misuse.

k) Physical/Mental Considerations

• The app should be designed with accessibility in mind, ensuring it is usable by individuals with varying physical and cognitive abilities.

• This includes support for voice commands, adjustable text sizes, and intuitive user interfaces to minimize cognitive load.
