BLINDNESS
• Problem of access to information.• Can't read newspaper, magazines and books.

VISUAL IMPAIRMENT STATISTICS
• Approximately 800 million people worldwide are blind.
• The number is steadily increasing due to diabetes, eye diseases, traffic accidents, aging and other causes.
• Around 90 percent of blind people live in low-income and under-developed countries.

PAST WORK TO AID BLIND PEOPLE
• Braille system developed in 1821.• Optacon (Optical Tactile Converter) was
developed in 1970.• Talking books.• Screen readers.

OUR QUEST
• Quest for a machine that can open the world of ordinary books to blind readers.
• Affordable and easy to use.

SYSTEM DESIGN AND WORK
• A prototype would be designed using a controllable webcam ,a laptop PC and headphones.
• The text material is kept at proper orientation to the system.
• Our system tries to identify the text region in the image.
• Then it zooms into the found areas to retake higher resolution images necessary for character recognition.

• The images are then processed based on character recognition algorithm .
• Then the recognized text is converted to audio which is delivered to the head-phones.
