Abstract

Examination are conducted through online processes. The job recruitment process and degree entrance examination like JEE, GATE, NEET, etc. will be conducted via online center through a third-party company. So, this chapter, per the authors, proposes a system that uses transducer for getting input as a voice. Later, the voice is converted into text then linked with the benbox software and the chosen file is taken as a command for the writing machine. Arduino Uno R3 is connected with stepper motor driver, metal gear servo, expansion board A4988 driver for writing. The machine uses a gantry to move the writing tip along the X and Y axes. The flexible-nib pen is mounted on a servo motor, which rotates the tip onto the third axis. This machine provides comfortability for blind people to write their exam by using voice command.

Introduction

In today’s technology development people, knowledge moves more widely, quickly, and freely in the speed of the light across the various boundaries. For businesses, governments, and scientific communities, this new environment has brought tremendous opportunities, as well as challenges but blind and handicap people are drawbacks from these normal people. These blind people face many difficulties in the education system they feel difficult to write their examinations. Many institutions and organizations are increasingly gathering intelligence by processing several examinations for every interested challenger. So, these blind people cannot able to implement their viewpoints in the education system and lack of knowledge.

Objective

The hardware is to design and develop a writing machine for blind people. Now a day’s blind people showing their interest in education but they are depending on other people or assistance to write their examinations. To overcome this drawback, an automated writing machine is developed for blind people.

Here as given in the title our chapter is based on the blind people to overcome their deficiencies

  • 1.

    Their information can be given as voice command

  • 2.

    Automatically it writes their voice command in the writing surface

  • 3.

    Time consumption—access, fast, clarity and understand the user's command and opinions expressed through their voice in many sources including social networks.

Background

As per the chapter title, this is used for blind people not only for blind it is also used for paralyzed people too, it converts speech into text. Blind people depend upon third parties to write their examinations to overcome those dependence authors suggested to use this machine. The authors are going to implement the writing machine based on voice recognition but already introduced the auto writing machine it rotates using three plates to draw and shape. The authors are used voice recognition to take it as input commands. On the other hand, there may some other writing machines created by some other author but authors have created some additional features of voice command at low cost. Authors take 6 pieces of wood as a base of writing machine. It is connected with 2 pieces of Nema 17 stepper motor it is used for rotation, it takes 200rpm speed. This instrument is an Arduino based one, to help communicate with other devices so that authors use patchable that plays a role as a bridge for Arduino and laptop or desktop devices. Authors use the A4988 driver board has 2 pins one is used for direction control and the other one is for controlling steps.MG90S metal gear servo is used to move stuff without building a motor controller or gearbox. Authors are going to connect pen with this servo motor using glue gun every part has been fixed by it.

Bakkachenna Ranadeep Reddy., et al. (2021) proposed with the concept of internet of things based system in agriculture. This will help us to improve or future model with IOT based.

Dhilan Mandaliya (2018) “HomeWorkWriting Machine” proposes a system that Home-work writing machines. This is utilized to draw design and write at home. The writing tip can move on any x and y-axis. This project works with any type of fonts while writing.

Erwin Normanyo, et al. (2010) designed a reading machine with high quality reading rate designed form the original text by the blind people. In this author used multiple algorithms through fourier transform used in image processing. It can be used for untrammeled printed materials also get the text value.

Gennadi, Lembersky et al. (2011) “Language models for machine translation: original vs. translated texts” this paper investigates Translation Studies. Authors are proposed better forecasters of translated texts compare with language models compiled from the original language.

H, Valbret. et al. (1992) proposed new design for spectral transformation using PSOLA synthesizer. This is mainly used for convert speech to derive spectral transformations, initially considered with vector quantization.

Key Terms in this Chapter

NodeMCU: NodeMCU is an open source Internet of Things development platform. The NodeMCU term by default refers to the firmware. It uses a variety of open source projects.

Arduino Uno: Arduino Uno is a micro-controller board support by ATmega model. It includes the whole thing needed to maintain the microcontroller, computer able connect it with a USB wire or power get through AC to DC adapter or battery.

Internet of Things: Internet of Things is a technique of interconnected devices with individual identifier for each device and capability to transmit data over a group of nodes no need of human or computer interaction.

Machine Learning: Machine learning is a next level of artificial intelligence that gives systems capability to learn without human intervention and improve from practice without any human programming. It targets on the program development, it can be able data access and data learning for themselves.
