Speech-Recognizing KIOSK Mobile Application for the Visually Impaired

Recently, KIOSKs can be easily found in many places due to the increased labor cost burden and technology development. In particular, the restaurant industry increases the kiosk placement rate. However, the visually impaired have problems with KIOSKs consisting of touch screens and even describe it as a 'wall.' Based on speech recognition, we propose software that helps visually impaired people use kiosks independently. The speech recognition kiosk proposed in this paper guides the ordering process to users through sound. And users order foods by voice. This paper introduces the functional design of the speech-recognition kiosk, the implementation of the prototype, and the operation process of the application.
