Abstract :
Today computers have become more accessible and easy to use for everyone, except the disabled. Though some progress has been made on this issue but still it has been focused on either a certain disability or is too expensive for real world scenarios. Major contributions have been made for people lacking fine motor skills and speech based interfaces, but what if they lack both. In this regard we have proposed an integrated video based system that enables the user to give commands by head gestures and enter text by lip-reading. Currently certain gestures and limited vocabulary is recognized by the system but this could be extended in the current framework.
