Abstract :

The software Mongol Dip helps people with visual impairments to operate windows operating system for computational tasks. In this software we have used text to speech technology to echo every operation done by the user. This software assists people to move through the disk spaces and open documents, rich media files as well as working with these files. This software use Microsoft Speech API and Bengali Text to Speech application “Subachan” to read out the contents of the document in both the Bengali and English language. Also, the documents can be edited using short cut key combinations very easily by anyone. Moreover, our software provides the easiest interface to the visually impaired people to access Internet and send/receive e-mails. In this paper, we have shown the flow-charts of different modules, implementation details and the users feedback that clearly delineate the contributions of Mongol Dip as a software with bilingual audio assistance for the visually impaired people to operate computers.
