After going through Google’s Project Euphonia, I have decided to work on a project which could help individuals with a wide array of conditions like ALS and Cerebral Palsy.  
The aim of the project is to detect simple keywords (if possible to support the detection of some facial expressions in the future) and then take some action.

I feel that any small thing that could give them independence in life is of great value.

I would like to hear the community’s opinion on the feasibility of this idea.

🙏 Can’t agree more with you @saicharank.

👍 to the idea. Sounds absolutely awesome.

Thanks for sharing the project – I didn’t know about the project, always great to learn new things from people.
