Abstract
In todays world communication, has become so easy due to integration of
communication technologies with internet. However, the visually challenged
people find it very difficult to utilize this technology because using them
requires visual perception. Even though many new advancements have been
implemented to help them use the computers efficiently no nave user who is
visually challenged can use this technology as efficiently as a normal nave user
can do that is unlike normal users they require some practice for using the
available technologies. This project aims at developing an email system that
will help even a nave visually impaired person to use the services for
communication without previous training. The system will not let the user make
use of keyboard instead will work only on mouse operation and speech
conversion to text. Also, this system can be used by any normal person also for
example the one who is not able to read. The system is completely based on
interactive voice response which will make it user friendly and efficient to use.
INTRODUCTION
Internet is considered as a major storehouse of information in todays world. No
single work can be done without the help of it. It has even become one of the de
facto methods used in communication. And out of all methods available email is
one of the most common forms of communication especially in the business
world. However not all people can use the internet. This is because to access the
internet you would need to know what is written on the screen. If that is not
visible it is of no use. This makes internet a completely useless technology for
the visually impaired and illiterate people. Even the systems that are available
currently like the screen readers TTS and ASR do not provide full efficiency to
the blind people to use the internet. As nearly 285 million people worldwide are
estimated visually impaired it become necessary to make internet facilities for
communication usable for them also. Therefore, we have come up with this
project in which we will be developing a voice based email system which will
aid the visually impaired people who are naive to computer systems to use
email facilities in a hassle-free manner. The users of this system would not need
to have any basic information regarding keyboard shortcuts or where the keys
are located. All functions are based on simple mouse click operations making it
very easy for any type of user to use this system. Also, the user need not worry
about remembering which mouse click operation he/she needs to perform to
avail a given service as the system itself will be prompting them as to which
click will provide them with what operations.
