The document discusses several studies on assistive technologies for visually impaired individuals using image processing and text-to-speech conversion: 1) Sunita Chavan et al. (2023) built a module that extracts text from images using a webcam, recognizes words, and speaks the text aloud through headphones or a speaker. 2) Rozelle Jain et al. (2018) divided image to speech conversion into image recognition and text-to-speech modules using OCR and speech synthesis. 3) Hotaka Takizawa et al. (2018) proposed Kinect goggles, canes, and smartphone apps using image processing to identify obstacles, items, and provide lighting information to visually impaired

Text Reader for Visually Impaired Person Using Image Processing

According to Sunita Chavan et al., (2023) the research primary goal of is to help those visually impaired
in recognizing text. Meanwhile, This goal is achieved by building a module that turns text into speech
and speaks it into the provided speaker or headphones. The text is extracted using an application built
into the system, and the image is captured using the webcam of the system. The text is then recognized
for words and spoken aloud through headphones or the system's audio. The Python programming
language provides PIL (PythonImagingLibrary), which is used to perform basic image operations like
creating thumbnails, resizing, rotating, and converting between different file formats.

Image to Speech Conversion Using Digital Image Processing


According to Rozelle Jain et al., (2018), Image to Speech Conversion Using Digital Image Processing
divided into two modules. One is image recognition, and another is conversion speech forth at image.
OCR, or optical character recognition, is the process of using an optical technique to enable an
application to recognize a character automatically. Speech synthesis, on the other hand, refers to the
creation of artificial speech that is more human-like than robotic and does not directly use a human
voice. Generally speaking, speech synthesizers are technologies that produce artificial speech by
converting symbols to signal generation. The application can also be used to modulate the speech's pace
and incorporate different voices and accents.

Assistive Systems for the Visually Impaired Based on Image Processing


Hotaka Takizawa et al., (2018), proposed three helpful technologies for people with vision impairments
Kinect goggle system, light, and cane systems are all based on image processing. examining the system.
The Kinect cane system is able to identify obstacles of different sizes in addition to Identify items like
chairs. A user who is blind receives notification of the outcomes of vibration feedback for identification
and detection.The google kinetic is an alternative kind of wearable technology that frees up the user’s
hands. The quick inspection system is used as a smartphone application that may provide a visually
hindered user button lights and room lights on and off states.The outcomes of the experiments show
how useful the suggested approaches are for providing assistance for visually impaired .

Image Processing Based on Optical Character Recognition with Text to Speech for Visually
Impaired
The findings of Vijayanarayanan et al.,(2023) , Image Processing Based on Optical Character Recognition
with Text to Speech for Visually Impaired allows users to hear text images' contents rather than reading
them thru them. It blends the ideas of text to speech and optical character recognition (OCR) to a
camera is used in the Speech Synthesizer (TTS). The main issue that visually handicapped people
encounter individuals these days is that they have to rely on others to do text recognition for them since
they can't do it alone. to rely on others for daily tasks like reading newspapers and sending mail via mail,
book recommendations, etc. The project's ultimate goal is to assist the blind and visually handicapped
for readers to identify the text. A written text that is shown in front of the webcam must take a picture,
remove the text from it, and then either read the text out through speakers on a PC or headphones. Text-
to-Speech (TTS) refers to a computer's capacity to generate spoken words by translating text to speech.
Stated differently, text-to-speech software is a voice synthesizer that naturally voices text in real time.
This essay explains the layout, deployment and test outcomes of the apparatus. There are two modules
in this device: both a voice and an image processing module.
