(V- Shopper) A Virtual Voice-powered Shopping Companion

Abstract

E-commerce has rapidly transformed the modern business landscape, providing a platform for buying and selling goods and services online. With advancements in technology, voice and speech recognition systems have emerged as a convenient way to interact with digital platforms without physical contact. Significant research has been conducted in this field, leading to innovations that enhance user experiences in web applications. Integrating voice recognition into e commerce platforms can significantly improve accessibility, particularly for individuals with visual impairments, making online shopping more inclusive. While most current web applications limit voice commands to product searches, this project aims to expand functionality by enabling users to navigate and interact with various features using voice commands alone. This will greatly enhance usability and convenience for a broader audience. Additionally, the application will be designed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) utilizing service workers, ensuring a seamless, fast, and user friendly experience. Collectively, these enhancements will make the platform more efficient, accessible, and enjoyable for users.
