Empowering Independence: A Voice-Activated Educational Platform for Visually Impaired Students Using Django and WebKit Speech Recognition
Aswin S, Sindhu Daniel
Abstract: This paper presents an innovative Django - based educational web application specifically designed to create an inclusive learning environment for visually impaired students. By implementing WebKit Speech Recognition technology, the platform enables hands - free navigation and interaction, allowing students with visual impairments to access learning materials, complete assessments, and track academic progress independently. The system eliminates the need for human intermediaries during examinations, promoting autonomy and fairness in the assessment process. Faculty members benefit from a streamlined interface for content management, ensuring consistent accessibility standard. Evaluation results demonstrate substantial improvements in accessibility and usability: material navigation time decreased from 45 to 15 seconds, while the voice recognition system achieved 87% command interpretation accuracy across diverse speech patterns?significantly outperforming general - purpose speech recognition systems (65%). The platform also effectively reduced information gaps through audio notifications and enhanced engagement through voice - accessible progress tracking. This paper represents a significant step toward creating more inclusive educational technologies that empower visually impaired students to participate fully in academic environments on equal terms with their peers.
