Multilingual Standalone Trustworthy Voice-Based Social Network for Disaster Situations
In disaster scenarios, effective communication is crucial, yet language barriers often hinder timely and accurate information dissemination, exacerbating vulnerabilities and complicating response efforts. This paper presents a novel, multilingual, voice-based social network specifically designed to address these challenges. The proposed system integrates advanced artificial intelligence (AI) with blockchain technology to enable secure, asynchronous voice communication across multiple languages. The application operates independently of external servers, ensuring reliability even in compromised environments by functioning offline through local networks. Key features include AI-driven real-time translation of voice messages, ensuring seamless cross-linguistic communication, and blockchain-enabled storage for secure, immutable records of all interactions, safeguarding message integrity. Designed for cross-platform use, the system offers consistent performance across devices, from mobile phones to desktops, making it highly adaptable in diverse disaster situations. Evaluation metrics demonstrate high accuracy in speech recognition and translation, low latency, and user satisfaction, validating the system's effectiveness in enhancing communication during crises. This solution represents a significant advancement in disaster communication, bridging language gaps to support more inclusive and efficient emergency response.
