Introduction
We have seen that the inception of the Internet has dramatically revolutionized many fields.
The Internet has made the life of people so easy that people today have access to any
information they want sitting at their home. One of the main fields that the Internet has
revolutionized is communication. And talking about communication over the Internet, the
first thing that comes to our mind is E-mail. E-mails are considered to be the most reliable
way of communication over the Internet, for sending or receiving some important
information. But there is a special criteria for humans to access the Internet and the criteria is
you must be able to see. You must be thinking that what sort of criteria is this, every one
with eyes can see. But there are also specially abled people in our society who are not gifted
with what you have. Yes there are some visually challenged people or blind people who can
not see things and thus can not see the computer screen or keyboard.
A survey shows that there are more than 250 million visually challenged people around the
globe. That is, around 250 million people are unaware of how to use the Internet or E-mail.
The only way by which a visually impaired person can send an
Email is, they have to dictate the entire content of the mail to a third person( not visually
challenged ) and then the third person will compose the mail and send on the behalf of the
visually impaired person. But this is not the correct way to deal with this problem. It is very
less likely that every time a visually challenged person can find someone for help. Although
for these reasons the specially abled people are criticized by our society. So, for the
betterment of society and giving an equal status to such specially abled people we have
come up with this project idea which provides the user with the ability to send mails using
voice commands without the need of a keyboard or any other visual things.
Objectives
As the title suggests, the application will be a web-based application for visually
impaired persons using IVR- Interactive voice response, thus enabling everyone to control
their mail accounts using their voice only and to be able to read,send, and perform all the
other useful tasks. The system will prompt the user with voice commands to perform
certain actions and the user will respond to the same. The main benefit of this system is that
the use of the keyboard is completely eliminated, the user will have to respond through
voice.
Design
The design of this project is divided into three phases as described below:
UI design: In this phase the UI or the user interface of the project is developed. That is, the
designing of the web pages which the user will use to interact.
Database design: The database is considered to be the main pillars of every project. In
our application, a database is used to store user details such as name, age etc. Database here
is also used to keep information about the emails sent or received or in draft.
System design: In this phase a complete flow diagram of the working system is designed.
This flow diagram will show the details of all the events like actions to be performed for an
event.
However, the project is currently under development so there will be changes in UI design,
database design & technology used in the final prototype.

Application
This project is proposed for the betterment of society. This project aims to help the visually
impaired people to be a part of growing digital India by using the internet and also aims to
make life of such people quite easy. Also, the success of this project will also encourage
developers to build something more useful for visually impaired or illiterate people, who also
deserve an equal standard in society.
