According to the selection of the category suitable URL is selected which are already stored in the database. The selected URL is sent to the actual browser(like Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer). The output of the selected URL can be heard by the blind.

Existing System: In the current scenario it is not possible for the blind to have access to the internet. The reason for this is that, other than their disability no software has been developed that can help them in accessing the internet ,which was considered impossible until now due to the high complexity in programming and the large amount of data that has to be handled BLIND BROWSER 2

during this scenario . All of these difficulties made it impossible for the blind to access the internet and also with their limitations. All of these difficulties were overcome by our proposed system.

Proposed System: The main objective of the proposed system is to make internet accessible to the blind by overcoming all the difficulties that we witnessed before. In our proposed system “Blind Browser” we have made it possible for the blind to easily access the internet without any difficulty. Here we have created a software that integrates GUI with efficiency. We just have to install the software just like any other programme in the machine before we can start working with it. Once installed an icon will appear on the desktop which can be activated like any other software or we can make it appear by just turning on the machine. The main advantage is the ease with which this software can be accessed by the blind. The other main attractive feature here is that all the URL will be stored in a database as a matter of which the will not have to them which has proven rather difficult. There are mainly two s of the software . They are the and the blind . It is

the responsibility of the to add the different categories

required by the client. The blind person is the one who uses this software so as to access the internet.

Modules Of The Project : The project is basically divided into four modules. They are 1. Module The role of the is to manage different categories in different stages. For Example In stage 1 there is category called Sports. If the client select the sports category then in the second stage different sports items should tell to the blind like cricket,football,hockey etc. These kind of categories adds by the in different BLIND BROWSER 3

According to the need of the they selects different categories. and getting suitable web pages and hearing the content of the web page. 3. TTS T TS is using hear for converting the Text content to speech. This is implementing by the pure java code. 4. Key Logger Key Logger is using here for understanding the key pressed by the blind . According to the pressing of the number key the traversing in the software.
