The problem Roger solves

Blind people do lead a normal life with their own style of doing things. But, they definitely face troubles due to inaccessible infrastructure and social challenges. One of the biggest challenges for a blind person is to browse the web, so we created a python based voice assitant for them. Not just that, we also built a web application using next js and tailwind css for people who are both blind and mute. It solves one of the biggest problems for them and that is communication. We named our application Roger. Roger gives blind and mute people a way to communicate with others using morse code. Roger helps blind and mute people to communicate with the world.

Challenges we ran into

The first challenge was giving the voice assistant voice commands while we were building voice assistant for blind people. We solved these problems using libraries we found on the internet. While building Roger, we had some trouble in writing the logic of conversion of dots and dashes to text. We solved this problem using hit and trial method. One last problem we faced during the making of Roger was making roger talk back to the user. We solved it by playing the audio in useEffect.
