Abstract:
The estimated number of people visually impaired in the world is 285 million, 39 million
blind and 246 million having low vision. These people have a lot of difficulties in their daily
lives as they are unaware of their environment, they have limited accessibility and they are really
dependent on someone or something to do some chores. One of the main problems, these people
face is their inability to read text from various sources. The main idea of this project is to create
an app which will help those people to overcome the barrier of blindness and work and live like
normal people. This will be done by using novel deep learning algorithms and techniques which
read out aloud text when pointed by the user.
