Abstract

Rural areas in Brazil, especially in the Amazon region, suffers from the lack of provision of basic services, such as health, communications and transportation. Community communication networks can play an important role on these regions by providing a low-cost communication solution by deploying mobile telephony and Internet on remote rural areas. The present work presents an application which aims to assist professionals in the process of gathering data using an voice-based system which calls users inside the community network. The proposed solution provides an software framework which uses open communication and speech recognition software deployed locally, bypassing the need of continuous Internet access and assuring that sensitive data is not used unfairly. Preliminary laboratory test results of the proposed software are presented.
