Helps visually disabled all around the world access to web information like normal people with internet

Hyperion will  provide blind persons all around the world access to information and education in voice format and interactive voice interaction system accessed by a webapp on a normal computer rather than  costly customized computer with properiotary software.

 Here we have decided to develop a state of art application server that hosts our application .The application will be voice interaction and expert system which would act as a interface between a blind and the web world.The whole computation will be done at server end and some at clent side.User (here refering to  a visually disabled person) only needs a normal computer or any mobile device with a normal internet connection would be able to access it via a web app.

The interaction will be carried out using aheadphone and microphone.

Also planned is ,to maintain worldwide voice information database with contributors from all over the world just like wikipedia.Funding would require help of some NGO's willing to help the disabled.

We have initial plans using the English as only language but as it grows we can our language processing system to many other languages.

If it succeds then plan are there to design a portable gadget that will act as a third ete i.e it would take pictures and with help of GPU we can exactly process it n give audio input to blind to recognize the object.
