        abstract = {The Voice-Assisted Library Management System (VALMS) is a modern web-based application designed to enhance library operations and user experience through the integration of voice interaction, intelligent search, and automated management features. Traditional library systems often rely heavily on manual searching, issuing, and fine management, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient for both librarians and users. This project addresses these limitations by providing an intelligent, voice-enabled interface that allows users to perform essential tasks such as searching for books, checking availability, issuing and returning books, renewing borrowed items, and reviewing digital or physical collections using natural speech commands. The system is developed using the Flask web framework (Python) with a MySQL/MariaDB backend, ensuring scalability, flexibility, and secure handling of library records. It integrates Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Google Text-to-Speech (gTTS) for effective voice-based interaction, along with Google Translator API for multilingual support (English, Hindi, Kannada, with scope for additional languages). For financial transactions, the system incorporates Razor pay payment gateway, enabling smooth handling of membership fees, fines, and renewals.},
