Abstract


The human communication is totally based on speech and text. So visually impaired people can gather information from voice. With the help of this project visually impaired people can read the text present in the captured image. In this Project we use Raspberry Pi Camera and this help to take pictures and that picture is converted into scan image for further process by using Imagemagick software. The output of Imagemagick software is in the form of scanned image this scan image is giving as an input to the Tesseract OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to convert image into the text. For transformation of text into speech we use Espeak

Keywords


Raspberry Pi Camera, Raspberry Pi, Image Magick, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Text to Speech, Espeak
