Abstract: ABSTRACT A voice-enabled agricultural assistance device and method for assisting illiterate and visually impaired users in acquiring agricultural information are disclosed. The device comprises an image acquisition unit, a voice input unit, a processing unit, a memory unit, and an audio output unit. The processing unit continuously evaluates live image frames of an agricultural subject, identifies positional deviations relative to predefined image acquisition parameters, and generates voice guidance instructions to assist user positioning. Upon satisfaction of predefined capture conditions, the processing unit automatically triggers image capture and validates the captured image using image quality parameters including sharpness, lighting, framing, and subject visibility. A validated image is processed to determine agricultural-condition information, and corresponding agricultural advisory information is generated and delivered through spoken output. The device establishes a closed-loop interaction architecture integrating voice guidance, automatic image capture, image validation, agricultural-condition determination, and audio advisory delivery, thereby enabling users to obtain agricultural recommendations without reliance on visual displays, textual interfaces, or manual image assessment.
