VOICE-BASED EMAIL FOR VISUALLY CHALLENGED

Abstract: Email has become a vital tool due to the growing reliance on digital communication, but because traditional email systems rely on graphical user interfaces and keyboard inputs, visually impaired people experience considerable challenges while utilizing them. The Voice-Based Email System shown in this research allows visually impaired users to send, receive, and navigate emails using only voice instructions. The system creates a n a c c e s s i b l e a n d u s e r - f r i e n d l y communication environment through the employment of Interactive Voice Response (IVR), Text-to-Speech (TTS), and Speech- to-Text (STT) technologies. The system, which is implemented in Python and m a k e s u s e o f m o d u l e s l i k e SpeechRecognition, Pyttsx3, SMTPLIB, and IMAPLIB, guarantees independence, lessens cognitive strain, and improves digital inclusivity for users who are visually impaired.
