Context-Aware Activity Recognition Systems

In India, the recent increase in the number of people with physical impairments has necessitated the need for low-cost, portable, augmentative and alternative communication devices. The authors describe a text-to-speech system for Indian languages, which accepts the text input in two Indian languages, Bengali and Hindi, and produces near-natural audio output. This text-to-speech system has been ported to two common handheld platforms, namely, iPaq from Compaq and Cassiopeia from Casio, both running on a Microsoft Pocket PC.
