Abstract: We are planning to make an isolated Android application that will help people with limited visibility to operate and use the Internet with ease.
Our application will consist of a simple GUI with a textbox. The user will speak out the desired URL into the microphone which will be converted into text in the textbox. On clicking Go, the user will be redirected to the default browser where the desired webpage will open.
We will also be implementing stroke recognition in the application. For example, suppose the user has a certain frequently visited website. He can define a symbol for it in the application. Later whenever he/she wishes to open the page, he can draw out the symbol which will automatically open the website.
Once the user is on the webpage, if he/she wishes to search for a particular word or topic, he pushes a button and speaks out the word. The application will then search for the word in the document. If he/she wishes, it will read out the paragraph with the maximum occurrence of the word. The user can then control the paragraph reading with play, pause and stop strokes.
