There is need to convert paper books and documents into text. OCR is still imperfect as it occasionally mis-recognizes letters and falsely identifies scanned text, leading to misspellings and linguistics errors in the OCR output text. A multilingual voice creation toolkit that supports the user in building voices for the Open source MARY TTS platform, for two state-of-the-art speech synthesis technologies: unit selection and HMM-based synthesis. For languages not yet supported by MARY TTS, the toolkit provides the necessary tools and generic reusable run-time system modules for adding support for a new language. Here, discussed the design and implementation of assistive platforms, and combine today's growing technology along with smart phone capabilities with the advantages offered by the high scalable and reactive cloud resources, making it a more economical and cost-effective way.
