Vaneeshree is a speech synthesizer useful to the vocally disabled and/or spastics. It has been developed at IIT Kanpur by Professor G.C. Ray, Department of Electrical Engineering. Vaneeshree has, in its memory, most of the useful sentences needed for communication in normal day-to-day life. The users may select any sentence using two switches and by pressing "talk" (a third switch), the sentence becomes audible in a nearby speaker. The speaker draws its power from a 220 volt ac line and the loudness may be made enough for the whole house. Model-1 It is the simplest in operation. It has 56 sentences, each having a duration of 3.5 to 7 seconds. Its speaker (including audio-amplifier) lies mounted somewhere in the house and a thin 3-wire connection is provided between the speaker and Vaneeshree. The connection is detachable using a freely available 3-pin stereo-jack. This model gives the brightest LED display of the sentence number. In its portable model, the life of the battery will be 3 to 4. Model-2 In this model, the sentence, in short form, is also visible in LCD display by the side of the number. The size is about 20% bigger than Model-1, but its power consumption is considerably less. The battery life will be about 7 to 8. Model-3 Here a graphics display is provided (e.g., a glass of water instead of writing "water"). This is especially useful for users deprived of formal education. Model-4 In this model a cordless connection is provided between Vaneeshree and the high-power amplifier hanging somewhere in the house. The user may move around the house freely, while continuing to communicate.
