  • Abstract
    In the modern science and information technology everyone wants to attach with latest technology and services. Although visually impaired people do not get proper light from the benefits of technology revolution due to lack of scope. Mongol Dip will give visually impaired population a great opportunity to connect with and contribute to the digital world. In this paper we present software named `Mongol Dip´ that helps people with visual impairments to operate windows operating system for computational tasks. In this software we have tracked user activity by using core windows DLL (Dynamic-link Library) hooking and used text to speech technology to echo every operation done by the user. Mongol Dip provides the easiest interface that helps the visually impaired people to read out the contents of the document in both the Bengali and English language by using Microsoft TTS and Bengali Text to Speech application “Subachan”. Hence the main goal is to assist the people with visual impairments to work with the computers like a normal human being by our software Mongol Dip.
