EVA - Ericsson Nikola Tesla Virtualni Asistent

EVA (Ericsson Nikola Tesla Virtual Assistant) is a voice-controlled interface designed for visually impaired people with additional motor or advanced technology, as well as immobile people.

The aim of this project was to enable blind people with additional motor difficulties to voice-control their devices with a touch screen. Such persons include persons without one or both hands, immobile persons and the elderly who are unable to operate the touch screen. The project is also intended for people who do not yet use smart devices with touch screens due to the difficult adaptation to new technologies. By such devices we mean smartphones (smartphones), tablets, or smartwatches. Our intention was to bring new technologies to people who could never use them, or their new technology was very limited. Also, the app is useful for drivers as it allows them to make phone calls, dictate and read SMS messages without looking at the phone screen and taking their eyes off the road while driving.

Although there are many technologies in the world today for speech recognition, voice command and text dictation, these technologies unfortunately support a limited number of foreign languages ​​and are therefore inaccessible to many who do not speak languages ​​such as English, German, Italian, Spanish or French. With this project we wanted to create an experimental solution that would enable the issuing of orders in the Croatian language, as well as in other languages ​​in the former Yugoslavia.

The EVA application currently supports the following features:

Three ways to activate voice by using built-in sensors or by saying a keyword.
Make phone calls by saying the name of a contact or phone number.
Receive phone calls by saying \ "answer \" (this feature is only available in Android version 8.0 or later).
