An Automatic Speech Broadcast System for Mobility Disabled Elders Based on RSS Network News

Elder lives are inconvenience, because they move slow, suffering from chronic diseases, bone sclerosis, atrophy of finger, vision aging, etc. How to provide a better user interface (UI) for elder is a very important issue. In this paper, we implement an automatic news text-to-speech broadcast system for mobility disabled elder. The RSS (rich site summary) format and website information of news titles are used and gotten. Every website of news will be abstracted, analyzed, and automatically text-to-speech broadcasted main text to elder. Simulation results show that the propose system is a better solution than general UI, such as remote controller.
