We have participated in a Touch and Tablet Accessibility award in a Imagine Cup 2010, Microsoft. The round 1 entry was consisting of the submission of the abstract related to the topics given for this year’s competition. We have selected the topic “Vision Difficulties and Impairment”.
We have proposed a ‘Text to Speech Converter using Prosody’ for the blind peoples. This will surely help them understanding the meaning of the sentence as the speech will deliver containing the emotions using the Touch feature in the Tablet PC. Hoping to get into the Round 2 !

Global Connect, a multiserver chat project has been successfully submitted as our 6th sem project. Global connect connects to the clients of the different servers thereby allowing them to chat and interact with each other.
It has private chat accessibility, send file option to the respective client and chat can also be saved into the system.
When the user signup for Global Connect, then the application automatically sends the user with the credentials of the login on the email id provided in the form. If the two users who are online are doing private chat, then any one of them can send mail to the other user. This will be useful when other user is offline.
SMTP protocol is used for sending mails to the users as we have created the sessions and MimeMessages for the authentication of the email id’s and passwords.
