Empowering the Visually Impaired: The Innovative Reader
The intent of this study is to present a new Smart Reader system, to improve accessibility for those with visual impairments. Leveraging the versatile capabilities of Raspberry Pi, the system integrates both hardware and software components to facilitate real-time text recognition and audio output. Its hardware setup comprises a Raspberry Pi microcontroller, a camera module, and audio peripherals, ensuring a portable and efficient design. By employing computer vision techniques, the system extracts text from various textual materials, such as books, documents, and signs, and converts it into sound. Machine learning algorithms contribute to accurate text recognition, while natural language processing ensures coherent audio delivery. Future enhancements may concentrate on bolstering system resilience, broadening language support, and incorporating additional features to cater user requirements.
