AN INTELLIGENT VOICE ENABLED WEB PORTAL FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSONS

Abstract

Nowadays, blind people face difficulties in living a normal way and there is a misunderstanding about the type of their disability. For example, most of them cannot find reading material and suitable textbooks are not available for them. In addition, the Internet has become an important performer for acquiring information and knowledge that includes various elements such as text, graphs, and numbers for their learning process. However, visually impaired people cannot use the internet and cannot be educated easily as they are unable to see links on web pages. Through this research paper, we have created an application to make the lives of the blind easier. This research aims to reach solution to over this problem by proposing an application that has feature using intelligent voice, so it can convert speech to text and read it, it can do the opposite and give response by voice. It will navigate the blind people in which page they are by intelligent voice and if they want to read it will give available languages and reading speech. They can also enter username and password as voice input, the system will convert, read it and it will check if it is correct or not. Moreover, it can be use by general people, it is possible to them to send audio or write text. In short, blind people can use the application and practice their normal life without embarrassment with others by giving a voice command, and the program will translate it and give response. They will have chance to access the World Wide Web by browsing the Internet, checking, sending, and receiving e-mail, searching the Internet, and listening to the search content just by giving a voice command to the system.
