ABSTRACT: There are various communication barriers for people who are blind or deaf, also they have to deal with various challenges. In this paper, we have described the implementation of a personal virtual assistant which can take the human voice commands to perform tasks which otherwise would need the dependence on others. It enables user to receive and send emails, know the weather forecast report, detect the fire and the smoke in the room, recognize face to unlock the door etc, using Speech to Text Engine, Text to speech Engine, OpenCV (LBPH algorithm) using microphone for the input and speakers for the output.
