Automated government form filling for aged and monolingual people using interactive tool

PurposeThe Government of India offers various schemes for various classes of citizens. Most of the application forms of schemes to be filled are in English and it is observed that monolingual individuals find it difficult to access and fill the forms. This paper addresses the challenges faced by monolingual individuals in India, particularly the elderly, people with impairments, and those from marginalized communities. The proposed work is to create an interactive system called Dhvani voicebot, specifically designed for the Kannada language. It helps users in identifying suitable government schemes and fills forms in English.Materials and MethodsThe proposed system is developed using the RASA chatbot framework and NLP techniques to comprehend user utterances. RNN and SVM algorithms are employed to ensure smooth conversation flow and interaction with the users. To enhance scheme suggestion accuracy, a knowledge graph is created, containing relevant data on government schemes.ResultsThe intent classification model achieves an accuracy of 97%, indicating its ability to accurately understand user intentions. The integration of a knowledge graph improves the accuracy of scheme identification and suggestion to users. The system automates the process of filling out government scheme forms based on user inputs.ConclusionDhvani voicebot system presents a practical solution to address the challenges faced by monolingual individuals in accessing government schemes in India. The high accuracy of intent classification and the use of a knowledge graph contribute to the system's effectiveness. The study suggests that this system can be extended to other languages. An automated tool called Dhvani will solve the problem of aged, illiterate and physically challenged persons filling forms in post offices and banks. Most of the schemes, pension funds, cash withdrawal, cash deposit is through these organizations. So. the tool makes the process easier for the above mention persons without the help of others.An intent recognition and interactive tool developed in Kannada Language which is widely spoken in Karnataka, India. The digital resources available in Kannada Language is very sparce.Use of technology like interactive tool, Knowledge graph, RNN and SVM are used in the development of the tool.Government scheme recommendation interactively makes the users to choose the scheme faster in an interactive way.The form is filled automatically and can be edited to rectify mistakes.

Automated summary

This paper highlights the challenges faced by monolingual individuals in India and proposes a solution called Dhvani voicebot, which helps users identify suitable government schemes and fill out forms.
