Abstract

In Egypt, more than 2 million people suffer from a mobility impairment some of them have quadriplegia, which usually indicates subsequent damage to the cervical spinal cord, although it may be the result of an injury to the brain or peripheral nerves. The cervical spinal cord is located inside a canal in the vertebrae of the spine, and it connects the brain to the majority of the body's organs, through the nerve fibers running through functional harm includes activities of daily living, such as eating, dressing, bathing, loss of voluntary control over the excretion of urine or faces, loss of control over mobility, and even sexual performance, fertility and the ability to contribute to family life, integration into the labor market and social settings. Also, quadruple patients cannot use technology such as computers, cell phones, and television controls, and other things that need manual control., for example, a computer-primarily relies on a mouse and keyboard for system navigation, navigation, and use apps, so we thought about helping them by designing a motion-controlled mouse.
The head has a set of features that enable the patient to control the system with sound and has a keyboard controlled by eye movement.
Now we made the voice recognition “up” أعلی" & “down” "أسفل" in the Arabic language to help in scrolling up & down, and this can be done by making extractions from the MFCC features and then make binary classification using support vector machine algorithm.
