Adrisya Sahayak: A Bangla Virtual Assistant for Visually Impaired

Visually impaired persons have to encounter numerous complications in their mundane activities for imperfect vision. Though there are different technologies, Systems interaction procedure or expenditure is the key factor here. To provide a solution to this problem, we have introduced a methodology of a Bangla virtual assistant `Adrisya Sahayak (Invisible Helper)'. As a desktop application, it is especially for Bangla speaking visually impaired persons to reduce the difficulties in utilizing a computer, peripheral devices of the computer and home appliances. Bangla is one of the most spoken languages globally and the native language of Bangladesh and a few states of India. A big portion of them is illiterate and not capable of communicating in English. That's why existing virtual assistants in the English language will be tough to use by them. The current user-independent system presented here will provide the opportunity to perform several tasks of a computer in the indoor environment via Bangla human voice commands.
