Literature Survey on Smart Assistance for Visually Impaired People

Abstract: This paper is about the goal of developing a system that can assist people with disabilities in their daily activities. Visually impaired people have faced many challenges. In most cases, they need ongoing support in all situations, especially in their day-to-day activities. Some of the main challenges include difficulty getting from one place to another without the help of others. On top of that, they have difficulty recognizing people, detecting obstacles, etc. To overcome this example, we have proposed "optical character recognition". This system guides the visually impaired. A camera will take a live image. Optical recognition of characters (OCR) is used to extract text from images. The read data was converted to voices using a text-to-speech synthesizer. The system was implemented using various existing technologies to help visually impaired people. The document discusses challenges in system design and device design.
