VOIP Access Vision

This paper presents the development and implementation of a voice assistant designed specifically to aid visually impaired individuals in their daily tasks. Current assistive technologies, while helpful, often lack the intuitive, hands-free interaction necessary for seamless use by the blind community. This study addresses these limitations by developing a voice-driven system that enables blind users to interact with technology through natural language commands, offering functionalities such as navigation assistance, task reminders, and environmental awareness. Built on an ESP32 microcontroller with integrated speech recognition algorithms and contextual voice responses, the proposed system provides real-time interaction without the need for visual input. User testing with visually impaired participants demonstrated the effectiveness of the system in enhancing accessibility, reducing reliance on physical touch or screen-based interfaces. The results highlight the potential of voice-based technology in improving the autonomy and quality of life for blind individuals. Future work will focus on expanding language support and incorporating advanced AI for better context-awareness.
