Empowering the Visually Impaired: A Voice-Based Email Management System

The research focuses on developing a voice-based email system to assist visually impaired users in sending and receiving emails independently. Existing systems, like screen readers, pose challenges when it comes to attaching files or navigating complex email interfaces. To address these issues, the proposed solution leverages Speech-to-Text (STT) and Text- toSpeech (TTS) technologies, along with Microsoft Speech Recognition, to allow users to manage emails and attachments through voice commands. This system simplifies tasks such as file searches, email composition, and sending attachments, reducing the need for keyboard navigation. Implemented using Python libraries like GTTS and speech recognition, it enables visually impaired users to interact with email systems autonomously. The approach focuses on improving accessibility, reducing cognitive load, and providing a userfriendly interface. Future extensions could include additional services like messaging and voicecontrolled applications, further enhancing usability for both visually impaired and illiterate users.

Abstract

The research focuses on developing a voice-based email system to assist visually impaired users in sending and receiving emails independently. Existing systems, like screen readers, pose challenges when it comes to attaching files or navigating complex email interfaces. To address these issues, the proposed solution leverages Speech-to-Text (STT) and Text- toSpeech (TTS) technologies, along with Microsoft Speech Recognition, to allow users to manage emails and attachments through voice commands. This system simplifies tasks such as file searches, email composition, and sending attachments, reducing the need for keyboard navigation. Implemented using Python libraries like GTTS and speech recognition, it enables visually impaired users to interact with email systems autonomously. The approach focuses on improving accessibility, reducing cognitive load, and providing a userfriendly interface. Future extensions could include additional services like messaging and voicecontrolled applications, further enhancing usability for both visually impaired and illiterate users.
