Abstract
This paper is focused on the speech recognition technology. In recent years, it was not possible to control our machineries through the help of voice commands. As the home automation is very popular nowadays. In this method, all home appliances are controlled by android phone through voice command. Keeping this automation in mind a wheelchair is also automated here by android phone through voice command. This special feature is added in traditional wheelchair to make especially abled persons independent. In this project, a small model of voice-controlled wheelchair is designed for especially abled persons. The wheelchair can be easily controlled by speech recognition module. It is very helpful for elderly people also who cannot walk well due to aging effect. Here wheelchair is trained with forward, backward, left, right, and stop commands. These voice commands are given by user via android application which transfers to microcontroller through Bluetooth module. After receiving the command, wheelchair will respond by performing proper movement to the proper direction according to the received data.
