Support for the Visually Impaired with Text-to-Speech (TTS) AI

Abstract

Living alone in today's world is essential for every human being, but it becomes a challenge for those who have vision impairments. A
person with a visual impairment is unable to detect or feel the outside environment. These people need certain resources in order to
operate autonomously. With advancements in technology such as mobile connection and artificial intelligence, it became easier to
maintain them in their daily lives. Our study involves using artificial intelligence, image recognition, and navigation to provide a
workaround for individuals with visual disabilities. Our project is carried out by building a PI camera on a Raspberry Pi that guides
them using TTS, a GPS module, and the use of a smartphone to traverse the site, as well as a sensor to identify obstructions. It can also
analyze images and convert them into words, allowing them to communicate more effectively with the rest of the world.
