Abstract
Thousands of blind or visually handicapped people have valuable talents but are having trouble obtaining a job, or at least work that is comparable with their ability. Customer support and repair customer service, writers, product testing inspectors, customer service representatives, and curriculum professionals are just a few jobs where blind people have excelled. This paper gives an insight on the implementation of assistive technology software that employs voice recognition technologies to aid the visually handicapped in accessing computer applications and the internet. The software can also detect and rectify spelling and grammatical errors in content depending on the context of the entire phrase using an artificial intelligence-powered writing assistant called GingerIt.
