Abstract: A standalone teacher Bot that can be interacted through the user’s voice. The Bot works as a teaching assistant which has the ability to respond for the voice input. The Bot has features like recognizing the voice, reading the text and searching in Wikipedia. The 21st-century people are in the era of intelligence and the communication between humans and Bot goes to the next level through intelligent technologies. The foundation of human-computer interaction is robot teaching. It can help the user in doing tasks like querying database, searching Wikipedia etc.. A customized teaching assistant is not implemented so far for primary kids and visually challenged people. Any visually challenged or a primary school kid can interact with the Bot The bot has the ability to understand the Human language and it is coded with Language Processing. The traditional teaching methods for physically challenged people can be made much more effective through Bot teaching methods. Bots have the ability to remember, to learn and to perceive which helps the intelligent system in teaching [8]. There are three main directions; teaching based on recognizing the speech, searching for the content from the local database as well as in Wikipedia, converting text into a voice output. The user interacts with the system through voice command, the system in-turn returns the output through the speakers attached to the system. The core concepts used in the project are speech-to-text conversion (for understanding user input) and text-to-speech conversion (for giving output to the user), reading the document in the local database, connecting with Wikipedia. The system can search Wikipedia and give the results through voice. It can help the visually challenged to connect with the world by giving them access to Wikipedia through their voice. A raspberry pi module is chipped with android things operating system and is also connected with a mic and a speaker for output. The raspberry pi is paired with the mobile application of android things and the module is modified in such a way that it continuously waits for the user’s voice input to respond accordingly[6]. The voice-controlled Bot can be used for visually challenged students in primary school.
