Abstract
The idea of using voice activated technology for controlling the motion of the wheelchair is to help many people with disabilities especially quadriplegics who do not have the dexterity necessary to control a joystick on an electrical wheelchair. The aim of this study is to implement an interesting application using small vocabulary word recognition system. The methodology adopted is based on grouping a microprocessor with a speech recognition development kit for isolated word from a dependent speaker. The resulting design is used to control a wheelchair for a handicapped person based on the vocal command and furthermore the user can select either slow or fast speed to move the system. This speed selection is in important for safety and extra maneuverability of the user. For example, if the user need only to move in a short distance or to approach object, he should use the slow speed. This paper describes the design and development of the motion control using voice recognition for a...

Wheelchair Control Using Voice Recognition
The main objective of our project is to design a wheel chair for physically disabled persons, controlled by voice input. The entire system is controlled by the PIC (16F877A) microcontroller and the voice recognition IC (HM 2007) is used, which is capable of storing voice signals, and generating good recognition performance on highly disordered speech. The voice IC consists of non-volatile memory back-up with 3V battery onboard, which will store the speech recognition data in RAM after the power off condition. Whenever a voice is given as input in the Mic the received voice is compared against the stored voices. On successful matching of the voice the HM2007 IC will send the corresponding codes to the controller. The controller interprets the command and activates the I/O ports accordingly. The Wheelchair rotation will be based on the motor connected to it. The motor is controlled by the I/O of the controller.

Manual Wheelchair Automator: Design of Front-end Process for a Speech Recognition System
2009
A typical electric powered wheelchair is normally buttons or joystick operated which requires some degrees of hand movements. However, for severely physically disabled patients such as patients with high level spinal injury, their hand motions can be restricted. One of the alternative wheelchair control methods is to use speech control instead of joystick control. A speech control system would allow the user to operate the wheelchair with speech commands instead of hand movements. In order to perform speech recognition on the given commands, a front-end process on speech signals is implemented. Some of the major components include data acquisition, feature extraction, and data quantization. An endpoint detection algorithm based on energy analysis is used to isolate individual words. Linear predictive coding (LPC) and cepstral analysis are chosen to characterize speech signals. For data compression and classification, fast vector quantization (VQ) codebook design and search algorithms are implemented based on partial distortion theorem. For each isolated words, this front-end process would provide a speech recognition system with a sequence of indexes which is a compressed representation of the characteristics of the original speech. The basic algorithms, hardware and software design, the results are presented.
Speech Recognition Based Microcontroller for Wheelchair Movement

VOICE OPERATED WHEELCHAIR FOR PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED
This project opens a new hope to the physically challenged people. Freedom of mobility is the dream for every patient especially in the case of people suffering from cases such as quadriplegics and multiple sclerosis .Although many types of mobility equipments are available for these type of patient there is no independent means of mobility device for these patients since they cannot drive a joystick or manual wheelchair. In order to aid these types of patients we are developing voice operated wheelchair. The movement of the wheelchair is controlled by the voice of the user. This wheelchair can be driven to the preferred direction with minimum effort.The user requires only less training to use this wheelchair. Technically this wheelchair is integrated with a voice recognition module to identify the voice, a microcontroller which can be programmed other supporting hardware components and a motor driver L293D.The proposed microcontroller based voice operated wheelchair would bring more convenience for the disabled people. Two DC motors can be driven simultaneously, both in forward and reverse direction with the help of L293Dmotor driver. Here we can control the motors to move right, left, forward, reverse, free runs and stop or break.To provide tilt operation for this wheelchair we use selective movement of a single motor based on the diameter and speed of the wheel. Also can calculate how much movement is required to tilt the wheelchair at a desired angle.
Sensor Based Wheelchair for Crippled by Speech Recognition
International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology (IJRASET), 2022
According to research there are about 6 million populations in the world who are paralyzed and needs a wheelchair for their mobility. Earlier the wheelchairs had to be moved and be externally supported by any person. To help overcome this "joystick-controlled wheelchairs" are developed. But in regular use, these joystick-controlled wheelchairs became difficult to use. Especially in the case of paralyzed people, the use of joystick became more difficult due to the hard buttons and unidirectional use of the joysticks. To overcome these problems, we've tried to develop a "gesture-controlled wheelchair" which can be moved with a slight tilt of the hand. This can be used in both hands and can be controlled to come to the user from a distance. The current work is implemented with Arduino based devices such as Arduino UNO processors and programmed through Arduino IDE.
