In the modern world, communication has become easy and efficient due to advancement of technology and development of the Internet. However, this does not apply for the visually impaired people. With the new technological developments, blind population finds it is challenging to keep up with the modern communication methods such as email and Skype. The main barrier stands in between these communication methods and the blind users is, their inability to use the keyboard and to see the computer or phone screen. This paper aims at describing the system being developed for the visually impaired people to use email/Skype using a desktop and to take phone calls using a smart phone, without any previous training. The system will not require the user to make use of keyboard; instead, it will work only using mouse operations and speech conversion to text. Text to speech conversions would be used to give the output and to read the screen contents to the user. This system can also be used by any normal person, for example the ones who are not able to read (illiterate). The system is completely based on interactive voice responses, which will make it user friendly and easy and efficient to use.

Unified search and browse interface for musicbrainz

MusicBrainz provides an open music encyclopedia that collects music metadata and makes it available to the public for free. The musicbrainz.org [1] website currently supports an advanced query search to browse the music metadata database with queries that allow to specify descriptive search such as “The artist groups who started their career between 1992 and 2000”. This search functionality is built using the Apache Lucene search library and one has to be familiar with the Lucene search syntax in order to type in a valid query that fulfils their need. If not, one will have to refer to a huge documentation that contains all the possible keywords for each entity in the database, which would consume a considerable amount of effort and time. This paper describes a solution to this issue developed by creating an interface that unifies the advanced query search with a simple indexed search while allowing the user to do any search that they could have done using the existing search functionality without needing any prior knowledge on Lucene search syntax or other documentation.

Sala: sales analysis, prediction and promotion system

Clothing retailers notice variations in buying patterns of customers with time. These variations depend on factors such as the numerous brands and items being available and the time of the year. The temporal variations tend to show a certain trend across years. Sala, a Sales Analysis, Prediction and Promotion System consists of a standalone desktop application, developed in Java, which allows the management to identify what sells more (trends) and predict future sales enabling the client to increase sales quantities and profitability. Along with this system, an Android mobile application was developed, which could be used to promote these specific items of clothing, also increasing the quantity sold. The analysis provided graphically makes it easier for the management to analyse past sales and the prediction of future sales, done using least square regression, enables them to order according to possible future demand. Furthermore the Android application promoting only the items predicted to be popular makes it easier to spread information among customers with an uncluttered user friendly app. Sala is a tool enabling management to identify and analyze past and future sales and approach customers more effectively ultimately increasing sales and profitability of the client enabling the client to succeed in a competitive environment.
