Our eyes are the most essential sensory organ. Because most tasks require visual information, visually impaired people are at a disadvantage because crucial information about their surroundings is unavailable. It is now possible to extend the support provided to people with visual impairments with advancements in technology. This project proposes to use Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Image and Text Recognition to assist persons who are blind or visually impaired. The habit of reading is slowly diminishing because of the busy lives of people.The situation is significantly worse for visually impaired people. To deal with this issue, we have developed a text summarisation technique. A camera device is added to the system to scan texts. The summarized output generated is read out to the user using text to speech conversion technique. This project also focuses on helping visually impaired people by detecting obstacles on their way and alerting them.
