| Abstract | Visual impairment refers to the defects of eye vision which can make it difficult for visually impaired people to see things and identify them as compared to normal persons or the capability of sight is disturbed in visually impaired people. Some can see things with little difficulty and some can be included in the category of blind people. So this was the purpose for us to build something for such people to gain knowledge with least limitation. Our project has the capability to assist the visually impaired to grow their academic qualifications and save themselves from fraud in any kind of documentation reading. Our proposed idea is synergism and implementation of two technologies OCR and espeak. The project is implemented quite easily by using a webcam which will be attached to the wrist of user through a ring type structure. The user just have to move its hand to the document which he/she wishes to read and the remaining task is done with the help of an algorithm (software) and a processor (hardware) to simultaneously carry out all the functions. The design is simple, easy to implement and the mandatory parts are software based. |
