A Remote Computer Control System Using Speech Recognition Technologies of Mobile Devices

This paper presents a remote control computer system using speech recognition technologies of mobile devices for the blind and physically disabled population. These people experience difficulty and inconvenience using computers through a keyboard and/or mouse. The purpose of this system is to provide a way that the blind and physically disabled population can easily control many functions of a computer via speech. The configuration of the system consists of a mobile device such as a smartphone, a PC server, and a Google server that are connected to each other. Users can command a mobile device to do something via speech such as directly controlling computers, writing emails and documents, calculating numbers, checking the weather forecast, and managing a schedule. They are then immediately executed. The proposed system also provides the blind people with a function via TTS (text to speech) of the Google server if they want to receive contents of the document stored in a computer.
