Now a day’s human replaceable machines/devices can communicate by writing, by voice or by signs through proper authentication process. Speech / voice is the fast and easiest communication way among all the ways. In many real time applications like security devices, automated devices, household appliances, mobiles and computers needs human-computer interface with speech processing to communicate or interact conveniently. These applications are very useful for the one whom suffering from some kind of disabilities. The conversion mechanisms like Speech-to-Text (STT) and Text- to- Speech (TTS)   are very helpful for the disabled people in their daily routine. The people, who are lacking the power of human speech, can   also use these interfaces with recorded voice over or TTS system. In the present work, the same mechanisms for searching whether the book is present in the library’s large dataset or not.
