Abstract

A portable, inexpensive reading aid designed for the blind is termed Blind Reader. Few people have access to Braille machines because of their exorbitant cost. The blind community, in particular, needs a portable text reader that is accessible and affordable. Blind Reader addresses the drawbacks of conventional Braille devices by making them accessible to the general public. This project involves building a smart reader for people who are blind using a Raspberry Pi. This effort’s focus is on integrating a full text content examine-out system designed for those with visual impairments. The system consists of a webcam attached to a Raspberry Pi that can read printed text from a website. The tool reads the text aloud and employs OCR generation to turn images into text. On the device, data can also be stored. By creating a particular audio file, the system enables blind people to input sounds. The output audio is then played using an audio system or headphones. It is scanned onto a digital file using the raspberry pi’s OCR (Optical Person Recognition) module, which is segmented and skew-corrected before feature extraction is used to perform class. With a text- to-speech conversion unit (TTS engine) installed on a Raspberry Pi, the text is labelled and then spoken aloud. Before they are read out, the results are fed into an audio amplifier
