The Voice

In this paper, we present a low cost hands-free detection and avoidance system designed to provide mobility assistance for visually impaired people. An ultrasonic sensor is attached to the jacket of the user and detects the obstacles in front. The information obtained is transferred to the user through audio messages and also by a vibration. The range of the detection is user-defined. A text-to-speech module is employed for the voice signal. The proposed obstacle avoidance device is cost effective, easy to use and easily upgraded.

Communication Methods

Visually impaired people find it challenging to use devices such as computers, and other digital/educational software like every normal person does in this technology driven world. Due to their inability to gainaccess to basic and vital information they sometimes feel excluded from the society and also limit their knowledge. Several attempts have beenmade in the recent years toimprove their communication methods such as tactile sign language, Braille glove, and Audioacces devices so on. This paper suggests an innovative assistive device, a Braille keypad, for the viually impaired that would help them use computers just like a normal person. The Braille keypad implements the Braille cells as 6 switches that can be pressed simultaneously based on the actual Braille combination in order to type a particular letter and words. The corresponding letters/words are displayed as well as can be heard by the user. A text to speech algorithm is implemented using puTTY software which would help the user confirm what he/she has typed is right. In this way it enables them to interact and communicate as well as use computers and mobile phones much like a normal person.

Arabic Ocr

Visually impaired (VI) people suffer from many difficulties when accessing printed material using existing technologies. These problems may include text alignment, focus, accuracy, software processing speed, mobility, and efficiency. Current technologies such as flatbed scanners and OCR programs need to scan an entire page. Recently, VI people prefer mobile devices because of their handiness and accessibility, but they have problems with focusing the mobile camera on the printed material. In this paper, a real-time Arabic text-reading prototype for VI people is proposed. It is based on using a wearable device for a hand finger. It is designed as a wearable ring attached to a tiny webcam device. The attached camera captures the printed Arabic text and passes it to the Arabic OCR system. Finally, the recognized characters are translated into speech using the text-to-speech (TTS) technology. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed prototype. It achieved an accuracy of 95.86% for Arabic character recognition and 98.5% for English character recognition.
