| Abstract: |
| We are aiming to achieve a speech aid for near natural speech synthesis using BCI for people with Locked-in Syndrome , apraxia or vocal injuries. At present there are no devices publicly available for the help of these people. Our aim is to provide a communication channel for these people as an application of BCI. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| People with Locked-in Syndrome , Severe vocal injuries or apraxia are unable to communicate through speech. There are no speech prosthetics to their aid . Our aim is to provide a communication pathway for these people with no available means of communication through present prosthetics. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| The people suffering from partial or complete paralysis , Locked-in Syndrome , Apraxia , Vocal injuries or mute people.
Over 360 million people across the globe are mute . There are about 2.5 LAC + mute people in Pakistan. Many of which cannot benefit from the available speech prosthesis.
|
| How will the solution works |
| We will perform speech recognition using BCI(Brain Computer Interface )by reading neural signals of the brain. The BCI will read the brain signals(through EEG). Our software will analyze these signals to generate sentences. We are then going to perform speech synthesis for these sentences. Thus our project is comprised of a BCI, an algorithm that is capable of generating sentences using brain activity signals and a device for speech synthesis. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| We do not have any competitors . The work done in this field by scientists is in research field only .There are no devices currently available for patients to benefit from. Our primary goal is to provide speech prosthetics using BCI that are practically usable and adaptable by these patients. |
