Voice Stick - Boon for Visually Challenged

Remember those book with dotts on it so a visually challenged person can touch it and read it. But thanks to the technology which bring a voice stick which can speak while you take that voice stick on to the printed media.



Technolgy which helps to read the text of printed media is OCR (Optical Character Recognition). When you run this stick on the surface of any printed media this device scan the documents and with the help of OCR it speak out the words.



This is quite innovative product with the holy purpose in mind. This is really practical and great gift to the visually challenged people.




Earlier Braille was the only resource for the visual effected people to enjoy the books. But as Braille books is really costly with the limited resource this technology will put the smile on the facces of starving visually challenged book lovers
