Abstract:

 Aim of the project is to develop reading assistance technology for the blind, this paper presents the idea to provide visually impaired people access to any printed material or soft copies available in computer. The project is a suitable alternative to the Braille version of books. This initiative enables a blind person to converse with texts which are not available in Braille format. Image sensor provided facilitates user to take images of the text to be read. The dots of the script sensed by user are elevated electromagnetically by precise actuators. Experiments were carried out and results analyzed for distinct cases. Withaccurate processing, recognition and detection techniques it is possible to extract text from the image. Along with these features, many custom user settings are available, making it possible for the blind to read any printed work or a distant text by clicking an image. The algorithm can further be improved with noise rejection techniques, attempting userconvenience in interaction with real world. This paper discusses implemented electrical circuitry and software algorithms in detail and mechanical assembly in brief.
