Design and Deployment of Speech-Enabled Real Time Automated Ordering System for Fastfood Restaurants in Africa.

Abstract

Many online applications such as e-shopping applications with the aid of web technologies provide interactive and user friendly interfaces that enhance their usability. However, some intending users especially the visually impaired and those challenged in reading and writing are denied the full experience of the services provided by these applications. To assist in leveraging this difficulty, this paper has designed a framework for embedding voice-controlled system into a Restaurant Food ordering system which when fully iintegrated, will provide seamless interaction with the food ordering system as it allows both text and voice input. The standard structural system analysis methodology and the Unified Modelling Languages (UML) tools in Visual Paradigm have been used in the design. . The system was fully implemented and everything worked in line with designed specifications.
