Abstract

Recent technologies are being used to facilitate and speed up the way in which printed materials are reproduced for people with visual impairment. In this paper, one of the audio playback methods will be described. With the help of the Google Assistant SDK and the OCR Space Libraries, an automated system is created that forwards the text recognized via webcam, through the local web server to the device that plays the text in segments. The goal of this system is to facilitate and improve the way in which people with this type of disability read and learn.
