First, take a class in LabVIEW, Expect to spend several months getting up to speed. (Consider someone who asks about "Voice Recognition Program in C++", and who says "I'm new to C++" ...). Find, if possible, a Mentor (could be a fellow Student who's been using LabVIEW for a few years or a Friendly Instructor, and schedule regular sessions with them to help get you started on learning the Basic Concepts and the Necessary Wiring Skills.
Recognize that this is not a trivial task, even if you have a routine written in "something else" that can "do the translating for you". But if you are diligent, and get some good training and mentoring, you might have something to show for it by the end of the term.
