Speech Assistive Device for Visually Impaired People Using Raspberry Pi

Addressing the issues of people with visual impairment through a single aiding system is a tough job. Many modern day researches focus on addressing the issues of one of the above challenges but not all. The work focuses on finding a unique technique that aids the visually impaired by letting them hear what is represented as text and it is achieved by the technique that captures the text through a camera and converts the text as voice signals. All these three solutions were modulated to be in a single unique system. All these activities are coordinated with the use of raspberry pi. The visually impaired people are helped by the process in which the text to speech is given by the OCR (optical character recognition). This OCR connected to raspberry pi and speakers are connected. Then it converts text into speech and reads out.
