LookTell: A Deep Learning Based Smart Assistant for Visually Impaired

Around 14 million people in our country are visually impaired, facing difficulties when travelling and requiring assistance. Family and friends often worry about their whereabouts, while emergencies can be challenging. Identifying currency and using online banking can also be problematic, leaving them vulnerable to fraud. To address this, we have developed a Currency Recognition System (CRS) using a Teachable Machine with smart Image-to-Text conversion. This enables blind individuals to recognize bank notes, while an android-based location tracking system helps loved ones monitor their real-time location. Our system uses transfer learning to provide fast and accurate results, making life easier for the visually impaired. The accuracy of proposed system is 97.33%.
