Aplicación móvil basada en android, para facilitar la comunicación de personas con discapacidad visual

Abstract

This project focuses on addressing people's needs in terms of communication via mobile devices. For this purpose, data collection was carried out to identify the needs and difficulties they face in their daily communication. The main objective was to develop an application that would not only facilitate their communication skills, but also give them the opportunity to actively participate in chat conversations with other users. The application was built using Java on the Android platform, and voice commands were implemented in order to allow users to control the receiving and sending of text messages through spoken instructions. This approach not only sought to improve accessibility, but also to make the application more intuitive and easier to use for those with visual impairments. In order to carry out the development efficiently and effectively, the Mobile D methodology was adopted, ensuring an agile process that fulfilled each of its phases. The primary focus of this research is to provide a specific solution for people with visual impairments. The application was designed with the premise that users would be able to use it autonomously, without relying on additional applications or external virtual assistants.
