Abstract: ABSTRACT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TACTILE AND VOICE NAVIGATION AND RECITATION ASSESSMENT OF HIERARCHICALLY STRUCTURED TEXT A device (100) for navigating a hierarchically structured text corpus organized into chapters and verses and for assessing a user recitation of a verse includes a casing (10), a data store (40) holding original text and a reference audio rendition for each verse, an audio subsystem (50) having a microphone arrangement (52) and a loudspeaker arrangement (54), a processing subsystem (60) having a processor (64) and a neural processing unit (62) configured to compute an accuracy score and generate feedback, and a wireless communication module (70) for an encrypted connection to a remote server (200). The device (100) further includes a tactile navigation panel (20) bearing braille-embossed legends defining touch-sensitive control zones mapped to the chapter and verse hierarchy, a voice command module (30) configured to match captured speech against a fixed set of command templates, a display (80) configured to render a visual representation of a navigation state, and a state and navigation controller (90) configured to maintain the modalities in a single common navigation state.
