Abstract

Nowadays, with the development of technology, there have been many innovations in human life. Technology has made many things easier in human life depending on these innovations. In this study, an application has been developed to more easily solve the needs of people in their daily lives. The developed application is designed to control the internal units of the house with voice commands. The doors, windows, lamps, etc. that we use daily in our house can be controlled by voice commands through wireless headphones. Voice commands can be sent from inside or outside the house. In addition to these external units, all applications on the personal computer are controlled by voice commands without using a keyboard and mouse. The application developed in C # programming language, provides control of newly installed programs to the computer without coding. To do so, it is enough to add that program and voice command to the interface. Moreover, the application provides a lot of convenience for disabled-aged citizens and some dangerous situations in the industrial environment.
