Abstract

The principal medium for human communication is speech and writing. To access the information in a text a person needs vision. Those with poor vision, however, can collect information from speech. High performance and portable digital imaging technologies have created a huge opportunity for blind or visually disabled people and the growing availability of cost savings to replace conventional scanning for document image acquisition. This project proposes a camera-based text-based assistive reading to assist visually impaired people in reading the text present on the image taken. The faces can also be detected when the mode control inputs a person into the frame. The proposed concept involves extracting text from scanned image using Tesseract Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and translating the text through e-Speak method into speech, a process that lets people with visual impairments interpret the text. This is a project for blind people to identify real world goods by extracting the text on the image and translating it into expression. Imaginative and prescient, by GOD, is a beautiful gift to humanity. Imaginative and prescient let people experience and comprehend the global environment. Blind human beings struggle too hard to keep their wretched lives until date. A simple, cheap, friendly consumer, virtual eye is designed and implemented within the work provided to enhance the mobility of every blind and visually impaired human in a particular region. The paintings given consist of a portable gadget with head hat, mini hand stick and foot shoes to help the blind person move effectively and to prevent any persistent or mobile limitations that may be encountered.
