IRJET- Email Framework for Blinds using Speech Recognition
0 likes25 views
This document describes a proposed system to allow blind people to send and receive emails using speech recognition and text-to-speech technologies. The system uses speech-to-text and text-to-speech converters to allow users to interact with an email system solely through voice commands. It aims to make email accessible for visually impaired users by eliminating the need to see a screen or use a keyboard. The proposed system provides an interactive voice response interface that guides users through composing and accessing their emails without visual input. It is intended to help the 240 million visually impaired people worldwide who currently have difficulties utilizing digital communication technologies that require seeing.

Abstract - This project aims at developing an email
system that will help visually impaired people. Due to
integration of communication technology with internet
the communication has becomes very easy in today’s
world, the very basic and important need for using the
internet is accessing email. But some peoples like visually
challenged people find very difficulties to utilize
technology of internet because of the fact that using them
required visual perception. That’s why we make this
project. This research has enable the blind people to send
and receive voice based email messages with the help of
computer system, this system is completely based on
interactive voice response is make it friendly to user and
efficient to use. Our proposed system GUI is evaluated
opposed to the GUI of traditional e-mail server and we
found that our proposed architecture performs more
better than that of the existing GUIS. In this project, we use
speech to text and text to speech technique access for blind
people.
Keywords:-TTS, STT CONVERSION and IVR.
1. INTRODUCTION
Internet has made life of people so easy that people
today have access to any information they want easily
communication is one of the main fields highly changed
by internet. Emails are the most dependable way of
communication over internet for sending and receiving
some important information. But there is a certain horm
for humans to access the internet and the horm is you
must be able to see. There are some visually impaired
people or blinds people who can’t see things and thus
can’t see the computer screen or keyboard. A survey has
shown that there are more than 240 million visually
impaired people around the globe. i,e. around 240
million people are unaware of how to use internet or
email , Hence we make this project for that type of
people. IVR- Interactive Voice Response is a technology
which allows computer to interact with humans using of
the voice input or a keypad in telecommunication. IVR
allows customers to interact with host system via a
computer keypad and by speech recognition. Nowadays
there are various technologies available in this world like
screen readers, ASR (automatic speech recognition), TTS
(text to speech), STT (speech to text), etc. But these are
not much efficient for them. We have to make some
internet facilities to them so they can use internet email.
In this project we describe the VMAIL system
architecture for windows platform that can be use by a
blind person to send e-mails easily.
The application uses ‘text to speech’ andvoice recognizer
to facilitate sending emails using a desktop application.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Electronic mail i. e. E-mail is the most important part in
day to day life but some of the people in today’s world
don’t know How to make use of Internet, some are blind
or some are illiterate.
1) In Existing system ,Blinds people does not send E-
mail using the system , the multitude of email types
along with the ability setting enables their use in
nomadic daily contexts.
2) The research paper mention here have a separate
website which consist of their own Database ,
Interface and also its own interface[1]. They have
created their own mailing system in which the
visually impaied people can send and receive mails
via the the system only, no other systems like Gmail,
Yahoo can be accessed.
3) In this, system maintains a database for user
validation and storing mails of the user[1].
The database is used to store the information of user
like Username, Password his mails
When user request for any information then
information is restore from the database.
4) As authentication, compose, inbox. Also the user has
to go through the process of signing-up which
somewhere giving rise to the complexity of using
their websites,also this is a websites,so there is one
more obstacle for the visually impaired people to go
their URL.
5) Presents an approach to speech recognition through
the fuzzy modeling and decision making which is
ignore noise rather than this detection and
removal[2]. The speech spectrogram is converted
into a fuzzy linguistic description and this
description is used instead of resize acoustic
features[2].
6) Main features are smooth and natural sounding
speech can be synthesize , the voice charecteristics
can be changed , it is “trainable [2].Conditions of the
basic system are synthesized speech is “buzz”
considering it is based on a vocoding technique , it
has been overcome using high quality vocoder and
hidden semi-Markov model based accounstick
modeling .](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/irjet-v7i1393-201103082230/85/IRJET-Email-Framework-for-Blinds-using-Speech-Recognition-1-320.jpg)

PROPOSED SYSTEM The visually impaired peoples are finds so many difficulties to utilize this technology because of the fact that using them requires visual perception. Howsoever all people can’t use the internet, this is because in order to access the internet user should need to know what is written on the screen. The proposed system of this project is totally based on a novel idea and is nowhere like the existing mail system . This web system is said to be perfectly accessible only when it can be used efficiently by all types of people whether able or disable. Our system focuses more on user friendliness of all types of people including normal people visually challenged people as well as illiterate people. The System is completely based on IVR –Interactive Voice Response. In this we proposed the VMAIL system architecture for window platform that used by blind people to easily send e-mails. LIST OF MODULES: SPEECH _TO_TEXT Converter TEXT_TO_SPEECH Converter Word Recognition Diagram: g 4. FUTURE WORK For normal peoples to see ,e-mailing is not a big deal, but for that people who are not able to see and they are not blessed with gift of vision it postures a key concern because of its intersection with many vocational responsibilities .This e-mail framework for blind people using speech recognition has a great application as it is used by visually impaired people as they can understand where they are. This system makes the visually impaired people feel like a normal user . They can hear the recently received mails to the inbox, as well as the IVR technology proves very effective for them in the terms of guidance .The visually challenged people can progress from desktop application to the web based application . 5. CONCLUSION Our project allows visually impaired people to interact with a web based application and it helps the visually impaired people to access e-mail services efficiently .This project presents a system for visually challenged user interaction based on real time web application .Any naïve user who does not know th e location of keys on the keyboard need not worry because the keyboard usage is eliminated in this project. The user only needs to follow the instruction given by the IVR and use mouse clicks according to get the respective service offered.
