Abstract

This chapter explores the development of an assistive system for the blind that utilizes optical character recognition (OCR) and voice output to facilitate text reading. The system, built on a Raspberry Pi 3, employs a camera module, image processing software, and a text-to-speech engine to convert printed text into audible information. The chapter delves into the history and advancements of OCR, discusses the integration of various components, and presents experimental results demonstrating the system’s effectiveness. It also highlights the potential for future enhancements, such as translating text into different languages and providing audio output of translated material.
