摘要:Information Communication Technology (ICT) can support people with physical disabilities by enabling them to access the information along with others. Physical challenge either temporary or of permanent nature put limitations in learning process of an individual as it can limit accessibility, can hamper understanding thus making it difficult for such persons to be at par with others. Learning activity such as following a lecture, reading a book, accessing resources, websites, appearing in the exams (written or oral) becomes an uphill task for physically challenged persons. A wide range of software and peripherals are now available as alternatives to using the traditional keyboard and mouse, which can suit learners with varying physical disabilities. A person can choose a technology based on his or her ability and ease in using a technology This paper analysis how ICT can meet requirements of education and employment of physically challenged people. This paper is basically aims in making mobile phones that can be easily accessible by the dumb, who are not deaf. The primary aim lies in capturing the lip movements of the dumb and converting these into vibrations and consequently into sound signals which are later transmitted to the receiver as such. Basically a device needs to be fitted in their mouth to sense the lip movements and consequently convert them into vibration. Then the process of recognizing the speech from vibrations takes place. The recognized speech is sent to receiver. Thus this product will prove effective for conversing with dumb people, thereby bringing a great impact in improving their communication with others and for understanding and sharing their thought and feelings. This product will be �SERVICE TO HUMANITY�.
