Truong Quoc Thang, a project leader of “Beacon Voice Assistant for the Visually Impaired” said: “Beacon is a voice assistant specifically designed for the visually impaired on Windows PCs. With its ability to recognize and process natural language, Beacon helps users control their computers, read news, listen to music, and more. With this project, our team hopes to create an application that not only reduces eye strain but also enhances computer usability for the visually impaired. To perfect this project, we applied a wide range of knowledge and specialized skills in computer science, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing. Additionally, the process of working on this project and presenting it at today’s conference has enhanced our team-working, presentation, and critical-thinking skills.
Participating in this Conference has brought us many valuable opportunities. It was a venue for us to present our research topic, receive valuable feedback from experts, and learn from other innovative projects. Especially, winning first prize has validated our approach and the urgency of the topic, and it also serves as a strong motivation for us to further develop our project in the future.”
