Streamlining Payments For Visually Impaired Persons

This approach aims to assist visually impaired individuals who have difficulty handling and understanding their bills and payments. It combines three essential technologies—Near Field Communication (NFC), Text-to-Speech (TTS), and Optical Character Recognition (OCR)—to provide a user-friendly and effective bill paying solution. Physical banknotes are scanned using OCR, which turns the data into legible digital text. Without requiring visual involvement, the system uses TTS technology to audibly convey bill details, allowing the user to hear key elements such as amounts owed, due dates, and itemized charges. NFC technology improves the procedure by safely connecting payment systems to the user’s mobile device, enabling quick, easy, and private transactions with little physical labor. Users may confirm or reject purchases by just uttering a command thanks to the voice command capability, which further improves usability and accessibility. Through the incorporation of these elements, visually impaired people may pay their bills more confidently, independently, and safely. By eliminating the need for outside help and addressing privacy and security issues, this technology provides a workable solution that promotes financial independence for those with visual impairments. Finally, in terms of money management, this system improves the general quality of life for visually impaired people by encouraging independence and offering a user-friendly experience.
