The Voice-activated remote control can be applied for any home appliances which work with a remote control. This could be so helpful for those who are constantly misplacing remote controls or are too tired after coming home from a long day of work and most importantly persons with disabilities, particularly people with paralysis, quadriplegia or paraplegia. This project is aimed to come up with a device which can communicate with a target appliance (which works with remote control) through voice commands. The device should accept voice command and on other hand the target device should correspond with a correct execution instantaneously. This project is targeted for electronic gadgets in general and a television set in particular. In addition to the traditional design of IR remote controls, a microphone, microcontroller and voice recognition board (using HM2007 voice recognition chip) will be added in the design. Although the project scope will only focus on controlling a television set, this project can be modified for a numbers of applications; such as door opener, VCR programmer, air conditioner and etc.
