VISIONAID: ENHANCING LEARNING ACCESSIBILITY FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED

Abstract: This paper demonstrates about Visually impaired students face significant challenges in accessing educational materials in traditional learning environments. The proposed system is an Android application designed to enhance accessibility through voice assistance. The application provides functionalities such as document scanning and text-to-audio conversion using Optical Character Recognition (OCR), enabling students to listen to printed and digital content. Additionally, features like voice-activated assistance, bookmarking key sections, voice recording, and note-taking empower users to engage in independent learning. By integrating advanced speech recognition and web search capabilities, the system enhances accessibility and promotes a seamless educational experience for visually impaired students.
