Voice Mouse: A Voice-Controlled Interface

This document discusses a voice mouse, which allows users to control a computer through voice commands instead of a physical mouse or keyboard. It works by using a microphone to capture voice commands, speech recognition software to interpret the commands, and a microcontroller to carry out corresponding mouse or keyboard actions on the computer. The voice mouse provides a hands-free option that can benefit both able-bodied users and those with disabilities. While speech recognition technology still has limitations, the voice mouse has advantages of convenience, mobility, and accessibility for various users.

Voice Controlled Human Computer Interface User can fully manipulate the computer via voice

commands
Ideal method for disabled persons who cannot use

conventional computer interfaces such as keyboard,mouse.

HUMAN COMPUTER INTERFACES


4

1. Traditional Interfaces
i. ii. iii.

Switches
Joysticks

Pneumatic devices

Cons:

Users sacrifice valuable degree of freedom

Feels uncomfortable

Cntd
5

2.New generation of interfaces


i. ii.
iii.

Eye movements
EEG signals Infrared signals

Cons:

Complex system Requires substantial motor co-ordination

Highly specialised and cost prohibitive

VOICE OPERATED MOUSE


6

The first

voice mouse is introduced by an Israelimeans for

American firm in 2002.


Speech is a natural communication

humanbeing

Allows you to 'touch' any object on a computer

screen by voice
Provides hands free

computing

Useful to both able and disabled users

This system consists of six main blocks:


Keyboard and the mouse layouts

Uses 17 utterances

D6106 speech recogniser

Different approaches for speech recognition


DTW approach
HMM approach

Neural Network based approach

Contd
8

Headset incorporated with a microphone and two

mercury switches
Keyboard circuit and the mouse circuits Mouse control circuit Microcontroller

How it works??
10

Voice command

Mouse pointer actions Microphone

USER

User: gives command.

Microphone: Sound wave Sound Card: electrical pulse

electrical pulse. digital signal.


phonemes.

Speech Recognition Engine:digital signals Command: Finally we get text command.

Operations: For every command the software performs the corresponding operations.

Example-1: If we want to explore start menu, we have to give command Start Menu. And after command execution

ADVANTAGES
13

Improves Working efficiencies and overall

productivities. Low complexity and cost Simple and Userfriendly Convenience ,accuracy, small size Free the user to be far more mobile If the ports of mouse and keyboard do not work properly. Does not require extended operational training

Evaluation of voice controlled HCI


14

Quadtree based mouse trajectory analysis


Tasks are conducted using both systems

Mouse Tracker:-record of mouse movements

L={(xi,yi)},1<=i<=n
Quadtree : efficient data structure to store and

query spatially distributive data.

Construction of quadtree
15

Each node contains: (x,y) indicating location of mouse cursor Integer variable count 4 subnodes

Comparison:

VOICE DISABLED

VOICE ENABLED

LIMITATIONS
17

Complex problem of spontaneous voice recognition,

namely hesitations, out of vocabulary.


Speech Recognition Engine takes some acoustic signals

which are not required.

APPLICATIONS
18

Persons with disabilities


Motor Handicapped

Astronauts Requirements of professionals such as surgeons.


Even those who are not able to "point and click.

FUTURE SCOPE
19

To develop our voice command in native languages


besides English.

o To remove the acoustic signals that is not expected in

our software.
o In PDAs and mobile phones

CONCLUSION
20

The interface of the software is user friendly. Voice input which will save time and make life easier. It is capable of meeting the requirements of people

unable to use their hands.
