Blind Reader: An intelligent assistant for blind

In the real world, books and documents are the sources of knowledge. But this knowledge is only bounded to people with clear vision. Our society includes a group of people who does not have a clear vision or people who are blind. For this group, world is like a black illusion. The shape and structure's information of an object is unavailable to them let alone reading a document. For blind acquiring knowledge by reading documents is cumbersome. Braille is one of the methods which is used to read a book or document. In this method, any document has to be converted to braille format to become understandable to a blind. The problem arises due to the fact that, this is an expensive procedure and many times not available. The solution is rather simple, introduce a smart device with a multimodal system that can convert any document to the interpreted form to a blind. A blind can read document only by tapping words which is then audibly presented through text to speech engine. “Blind Reader” - developed for touch devices which is user friendly and effective interactive system for visionless or low vision people.
