Abstract
This project allows to simulate how an intelligent system at home performs to achieve greater autonomy in people with physical disabilities; it is shown through this research a solution to increase the autonomy of people with physical disabilities or the elderly who live alone, so they are expected to improve their quality of life. In this article, experiencing the use of Google speech for the introduction to natural language allows analyzing the advantages that the implementation of an embedded system provides to people with paraplegia, exposing relevant data about the ease of Implementation of natural language structures.
