The concept of cosmopolitan community is fast developing in India. People from one region migrate to other for education, job, business and a variety of reasons. All official communication will be done using a common language. But for the day-to-day life the common language is not to support anymore. The passengers during the transit to other place, the language falls as a barrier. The identification of place displayed on the name board of public transport is grueling to the passengers. In the public transport, usually the name of the places will be displayed in local language or occasionally in English. Technology comes in handy to the cosmopolitan society. The use of technology can be devised as an app, which will be accessed by the users. This paper concludes with the design of app that reads out the destined place when focused on name board of public transport. The proposed system is interfaced with image processing technology, OCR and Text-to-Speech. Thus, the role of a language translator can be reduced thereby people can commute in public transport without the aid of local people. The work is confined with Telugu Language and fixed letters associated with the destination name displayed on the name board.
