SMOWSER (A VOICE BASED BROWSER)
1 like256 views
This document presents a voice operated web browser called Smowser. Smowser uses Microsoft Speech SDK for voice control integration to allow users to operate a web browser using voice commands. The voice commands are converted to text and matched to a set of predefined commands to execute browser functions like opening bookmarks, refreshing pages, scrolling, and tab operations. The presentation concludes that voice-based browsers allow for more interactive browsing and that greater accuracy is still needed for speech recognition, especially for accent recognition.

- 1. Guided By – Dr. BDK Patro Smowser: A Voice Operated Web Browse Presented By – Arjit Dixit (308) Neeraj Baghel (002) CS 4th Year
- 2. Table of Contents Objective Introduction Literature Review Problem Definition Proposed Solution Data Flow Diagram (DFD) Flow Chart Commands accepted Working of Smowser Operations performed in speech recognition Conclusion References
- 3. Objective To develop a Web Browser which can be operated using Voice Commands. Integrated functioning rather than plug-in dependency. Combined auditory and visual input. Offline feature independent of connection state.
- 4. Introduction Human-computer interaction is more advantageous than conventional browsing. Control browser over distance, in the dark and while hands are occupied. Useful to people with disabilities and vision problems.
- 5. Literature Review Voice Portal VoiceXML Third party plug-ins and add ons. Microsoft Speech Application Programming Interface (SAPI)
- 6. Problem Definition Connectivity required by Microsoft Cortana. Google Chrome & Mozilla Firefox requires add ons. Voice Portals are limited to websites. CMU Sphinx supports only Linux.
- 7. Proposed Solution The Smowser will be using Microsoft Visual Studio for developing the web browser using Dot NET framework with C# programming language. It will be using Microsoft Speech SDK for voice control integration. Voice commands are converted into text and then matched with a set of pre-stored commands and execute them.

- 10. Commands accepted Open – Bookmarks, Downloads, History, Speed Dial, Help Refresh and Stop – Refreshes and stops refreshing of webpage. Speed Dial – Visit most frequent websites Next and Previous – Navigating Pages Up and Down – Scrolling through document Click – Visiting hyperlinks Settings – Configure Smowser New, Incognito, Switch and Close – Tab Operations Home - Opens home page Print – Prints a webpage Save – Saves webpage locally Exit and Restart – Quits and reopen smowser
- 11. Working of Smowser A welcome window will be displayed, which will display the current user name.
- 12. Working of Smowser (continued) Voice command ‘MENU’ given to main browser window will open Menu Dropdown list.
- 13. Working of Smowser (continued) Browser settings are displayed by giving voice command ‘SETTINGS’
- 14. Operations performed in Speech Recogniti Initialize speech recognizer. Set input for speech recognizer. Create speech recognition grammar. Load grammar into speech recognizer. Register for its event notification. Create a handler for this event. Start Recognition.
- 15. Conclusion The conclusion of this presentation is:- Voice based browsers are more interactive. Integrated Speech feature is more effective. Greater accuracy is needed in terms of accent recognition.
