Abstract
Communication development is creating a revolution in the current digital era. A formal or casual communication is now sent through email. The growth in digital technology has given immense opportunity to visually impaired person. This application is developed to ease the process of email writing not only for visually impaired person but for everyone. Now human voices can also be given as input instead of typing on the keyboard. So, additional skill required for typewriting will not be necessary anymore. This application recognizes user voice and performs comparisons with pre-sample voice stored in the database and executes the voice command. Common day-to-day spoken words are used as command language. It focuses on reducing the load incurred in human memory. The proposed work aims to develop a mechanism which converts Speech To Text (S TT) for email composing and also converts Text To Speech (TTS) for reading emails. Google web kit API (Application Programming Interface) is used in this application for speech recognition. Investigations made on the application proves its effectiveness by delivering a better performance when compared with the various parameters like audible distance, accent, pace, words per minute (WPM), accuracy, and homophone words. The graphical analysis depicts the accuracy in terms of word recognition.
