Our application is of two parts as of now: Part 1: Speech recognition for browser navigation Part 2: OCR implementation to help visually impaired get the text from data.
Since, it's very difficult for visually challenged people to operate computers, we developed the built-in speech recognition for our application which would help the user to navigate through our application.
This technology would help the specially aided people by reading out loud the things
