Image to Audio Conversion for Blind People Using Neural Network

Abstract

Abstract: The development of an image-to-audio conversion system represents a significant stride towards enhancing accessibility and autonomy for visually impaired individuals. This innovative technology leverages computer vision and audio synthesis techniques to convert visual information from images into auditory cues, enabling blind users to interpret and comprehend their surroundings more effectively. The core of this system relies on advanced computer vision algorithms that process input images, recognizing objects, text, and scene elements. These algorithms employ deep learning models to extract meaningful visual features and convert them into a structured representation of the image content. Simultaneously, natural language processing techniques are employed to extract and interpret textual information within the image, such as signs, labels, or written instructions. Once the image content is comprehended, an audio synthesis engine generates a corresponding auditory output. This auditory output is designed to convey the information in a clear and intuitive manner. Additionally, the system can adapt its output based on user preferences and environmental context, providing a customizable and dynamic auditory experience. It empowers blind individuals to independently access visual information from a variety of sources, including printed materials, digital displays, and real-world scenes. Moreover, it promotes inclusion by reducing the reliance on sighted assistance and fostering greater self-reliance and confidence among visually impaired individuals. By harnessing computer vision and audio synthesis, it provides a means for blind individuals to access and interpret visual information independently, thereby enhancing their autonomy, inclusion, and overall quality of life. This innovative solution underscores the potential of technology to bridge accessibility gaps and empower individuals with disabilities.
