The document summarizes two papers that were presented at the International Conference on Advances & Challenges in Interdisciplinary Engineering and Management in 2017. The first paper proposes a smart home control system that allows users to control appliances using human speech and context information. The second paper describes an algorithm to convert text into Braille script to enable visually impaired users to read text. Both papers aim to improve accessibility and convenience for their respective user groups.

Abstract: Traditionally, home appliances are controlled by switches or remote controllers manually. In order to control the appliances, a user has to
be near the switches or carry remote controllers all the time. To alleviate this inconvenience, this paper proposes a control system for home appliances
using human speech and context information. We present an architecture of the control system and a process to control home appliances composed of
three steps: speech detection, speech recognition, and command execution. To validate our system, we show two useful case studies by testing it
at POSTECH smart home and UPnP-OSGi simulator.

Abstract: This uses an algorithm which enables the user to convert the Text that we normally have in our day to day usage into Braille Script and
thus gives impetus for the visually impaired to read that text . The Product that we will create will be very intuitive and simplistic in design that will
enable the end user to feel familiar and at home with the product.
