Abstract

In this era, doing everything fast is the main requirement. Computers play a vital role to perform various tasks with more speed. For this reason this paper presented a system called as "Voice Controlled Mouse Pointer" (VCMP), which enables the users to perform computer's operations with their voice. VCMP will provide mouse cursors movement with voice in eight directions, which will be helpful for the people with disabilities. VCMP uses Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) for speech features extractions and features matching will be done by calculating minimum distance between the extracted features of voice and stored features in the features library. VCMP does not require the user's voice database; it extracts the voice features online during training and stores them into the features library. This makes VCMP speaker independent. VCMP will provide instantaneous mouse cursor's movement on the screen as soon as speech is recognized by the system. VCMP also provides voice commanding, where user can command the computer to open various operating systems' programs with voice.
