Proposed
Title
Mobictionary:
The Complete English Dictionary for Regular Mobile Phones
II.
Development
Problem
Not all of us
own a Smartphone that can download applications like the electronic version of
Webster’s dictionary. Most Filipinos in the lower class level are still using
regular mobile phones with no internet feature. With this dilemma, it is
essential to offer a new VAS (Value Added Service) in a form of a text message
based dictionary for regular mobile phone users. This is also for those who
have Smartphones but have a slow internet connection or totally no internet access
(e.g. for those who live or travel in far rural places).
III.
Objectives
1. To offer
an affordable yet reliable and educational value added service for regular
mobile phone users.
2. To
provide a text message based dictionary for ESL (English as Second Language)
students who are always on the go.
IV.
Description
of Beneficiaries or Stakeholders
This is for ESL
students who use regular mobile phones with no internet feature. This is also
beneficial for Smartphone users who need a mobile dictionary but has no
application of it and has no internet connection or Wi-Fi. This is useful for
those who always travel in far places and experiencing slow internet connection
due to network failure and other reasons.

Brief
Description
In
this value added service, the user just need to text the word in the assigned 4
digit # (e.g. 1111) and after a while he will receive a message with the
meaning of the word just like how it can be seen in a regular paper bound dictionary.
The sender will be charged 1 peso for every transaction. This service can also
offer an unlimited promo, just send the keyword UNLI MOBD in the assigned 4
digit # (e.g. 1111), and for 10 pesos the user can enjoy unlimited service of
the Mobictionary for 1day.
This VAS can
only cater English words and when the customer sent a wrong spelling word
he/she will be charged one peso. However, the system will send a message
informing the customer of the possible words he/she is asking and it is free of
charge. The customer only needs to choose the correct word and send it again on
the assigned 4 digit number. However, he/she will again be charged of one peso
but if he/she is enrolled in the unlimited service, as long as he/she send the
correct spelling of the word it will be covered and he/she will not be charged of
any amount beside the registration fee. The customer can ask/send for the same
word infinitely.

Project
Methodology
The
conduct of the research will be done in three phases.
1.
Preparatory Stage of the product, this is where the project proposal will be
finalized by the designated team.
2.
The actual design and production of the value added service. The technical
aspect of the project will be handled by the representatives from the Technical
Department.

VII.
Project
Evaluation
Evaluate the effectiveness of the
product by trial and error survey to the target users. We will visit at least 5
public state colleges in nearby provinces outside Metro Manila. We have one
