Voice Activated Email System for Visually Impaired

Abstract - In today’s digital world, internet services like email are essential but often inaccessible to visually impaired individuals due to visually oriented designs. While screen readers exist, they can be complex and insufficient. This paper presents a voice-based email system designed to simplify email use for the visually impaired by allowing users to speak commands and listen to responses, eliminating the need for reading or typing. Using speech recognition and text-to-speech technology, the system offers a hands-free, eyes-free experience that enhances independence and ease of use. Testing showed it to be significantly more accessible and user-friendly than traditional interfaces, especially for users with little technical knowledge, highlighting the potential of voice technology to make online communication more inclusive.
