ℹ️ Project information

Project Name: Helping Hand
Short Project Description:
We will be granting seamless verbal narration of physical text materials for, sign language to text and vocal conversion etc. Most of the impaired people in our country have partial impairment,
Depending on the severity and cause, this leaves a wide range of ways to communicate, rather than the standard communication methods We aim to provide a voice recognition tool that uses hardware devices that lets users translate physical text material, hand based sign language etc by taking a picture of them_
Most of the impaired people in our country have partial impairment. Depending on the severity and cause, this leaves a wide range of ways to communicate, rather than the standard communication methods We aim to provide a voice recognition tool that uses devices that lets users translate physical text material to speech, speech to text, saved audio files to text etc.
We have made an application in python, which will detect the text from the image and convert it into its audio for the blind, will detect words from an audio and convert it into text for the deaf.
For the blind; A Webcam is used to capture the image which the person has to read. The captured image is then given as input to the python application for further processing of the image. The different libraries required are imported on the application for processing of the image. OpenCV library is used to enhance the image.
For the deaf; our project uses a speech synthesis and speech recognition technology. Speech Recognition will converts Voice Input to Text Output which is for deaf/ deaf-dumb to understand what others speaks Speech Synthesis that is Text to Speech Converter converts Text Input to Voice Output which is for hearing person to understand what the deaf-dumb is saying.
This device actually acts as an artificial eye to visually impaired people and as a text based measure for the deaf to comprehend conversations. Since this would be purely software based, it can be used anywhere in real time and it doesn't need any human supervision.
