Abstract

As stated by the statistics of the WHO-World Health Organization, 285 million people around the world are estimated to be visually impaired, of which 39 million are complete blind, out of which 90% live in developing countries. People who suffer from eyesight and visual defect are not capable of reading text in common newsprint, books, magazines and other reading materials clearly. This makes the reading process difficult which can disturb the learning process and slow the person's intellectual development. So, there is a need to develop a book reader device that is affordable to the low-income sections of the society. Thus, the objective of the system is to read data from the given input document and convert it into audio format using TTS technology. Hence, the system would take care that the student’s disability won’t be the major reason to hold them from pursuing their career
