Over the years, many technologies have been realized to aid people who suffer from sensory and physical disabilities. Real-time assistance is offered by these technologies, which use artificial intelligence, machine learning, and mobile computing. For their users who are presumably visually challenged, object-detection models coupled with image processing give audio feedback for easy navigation. Speech-to- text applications and text-to-speech applications cover the communication gap for deaf and mute persons. Some of these systems also perform sign language recognition, OCR, and voice synthesis to make life interactable. Hardware tools include ultrasonic sensors and smart gloves for specific impairments. However, these solutions are mostly class-wise and least integrated with one another. This survey paper goes into the depth of past developments and stresses the need for inclusive, multipurpose, user-friendly platforms that cater to as many differently abled users as possible.
