Select To Speak

The Project

In our community, dumb / muted people have to suffer a lot due to discrimination. Also they don't feel good of the matter that they cannot speak and often attempt to suicide. Even many of such people are made to undergo highly-expensive therapies. But nowadays, in a world of high technology, being not able to speak is not at all a problem. Thus technology can in turns make the work much more easier. At the end of 2020, Google launched an app for those people, named, "Look to Speak". There the person has to look towards the option to select it. However there is a huge problem i.e. the person, in order to answer first has to see the option with his eyes and in this case there is a chance of getting a wrong and undesirable answer. So, my this particular project focusses to solve all these problems. Not only that. It is has some interesting and cool features as well, such as, the day and night mode including the sound effect, made in a quizzical form to enjoy in various ways, made features to select options by choosing them by taking finger upon the desired option after clicking on the "switch on the video" option (Auto Gesture recognition technology), voice interpretation of the selected options. In this case, I think that, from now the muted / dumb people will no more feel inferior. Instead they would feel cool for using this project. However find how to use under the next Instruction section:

Dumb people are either left or made to go under expensive therapies. Due to this reason Look to Speak was launched. But there is one problem i.e. first the person has to see the options then look towards it. In this case there is a possibility of wrong answer. Thus this project will overcome these.

First of all the motion on the options sensing and the distance judging was the most difficult part of the project which was made possible by hit and trail method. Then as usual comes the decoration part including sound effect was bit difficult which also has been solved using hit and trail method.

If there was more time, I would have, increased the sound quality, made the decoration much better and also would have added other interesting, amazing and cool features.
