MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641050707 A) filed by Agni College Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 21, for 'a sensor-assisted morse code-driven voice communication system for speech-impaired via pattern matching and linear search algorithm.'
Inventor(s) include Sureka N; Shivani K; Shiney Lourdhu Mary JS; Madhumitha K; and Priyadharshini S.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Individuals with severe speech impairments often face significant barriers to self-expression. This paper presents a Sensor-assisted Morse-driven voice Communication and Health Monitoring System for people with speech or motor impairments, including those with below-the-neck paralysis, quadriplegia, locked-in syndrome, stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or advanced neuromuscular disorders. The system allows users to gently bite or press a teeth-based sensor or push button to generate Morse code signals. An ESP32 microcontroller processes these signals and distinguishes between dots and dashes based on the signal duration. The decoded Morse code was converted into text using a predefined database, shown on an OLED screen, and transformed into speech through a voice output module for real-time communication. The Integrated health monitoring features use sensors to track heart rate and temperature, whereas TinyML-based algorithms detect abnormal physiological conditions and send alerts to caregivers."
