Eye Blink Communication System for Paralyzed Patients

Opti-Blink is an intelligent assistive communication system designed for individuals with severe motor disabilities, paralysis, or speech impairments. The system uses real-time eye-blink detection via computer vision and converts intentional blinks into Morse code. The decoded text is displayed through a virtual keyboard and converted into speech using a Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine. Enhanced features such as emergency call initiation, WhatsApp messaging with live location sharing, intelligent predictive text using NLTK, and Sleep Mode improve communication speed, usability, and safety. Opti-Blink operates using only a standard webcam and a computer, eliminating the need for costly hardware. Experimental results demonstrate that users can efficiently generate text and initiate emergency communication with high precision, making Opti-Blink an accessible, low-cost, and reliable assistive solution.
