The mobile and internet revolution has provided solutions to number of different problems, yet farmers in India have not benefit much due to this technological revolution. The reason being lack of knowledge to use internet, smart-phones and illiteracy forces farmers to still follow obsolete and outdated practices. In this paper we are proposing a cloud based system, wherein the illiterate farmers can make a voice call through a toll free number which doesn’t even require the Smartphone. The call is automatically answered using a programmable voice interface and expects the farmer to speak in his/her native language Kannada. The farmer can ask about the commodity prices or weather information in Kannada language. The system will automatically answer, process the voice call (Speech processing) , translate it into English language (Language translation), fetch the requested information from the cloud/web and reply with latest commodity price and weather information based on the location of the speaker in Kannada language. Further, the efficiency and reliability of the system has been tested.
