Ajinkya Shinde, Somsundarji Shinde, Pallavi Chandake · 2015
The Optical Character Recognition is a mobile application.which is implemented on MATLAB and it requires only MATLAB supportive laptop or pc.also It can implement on smart mobile phones of android platform. This paper combines the functionality of Optical Character Recognition and speech synthesizer. The objective is to develop user friendly application which performs image to speech conversion system using MATLAB or android phones. The OCR takes image as the input, gets text from that image and then converts it into speech. This system can be useful in various applications like banking, legal industry, other industries, and home and office automation. It mainly designed for people who are unable to read any type of text documents. In this paper, the character recognition method is presented by using OCR technology and android phone with higher quality camera. OCR is the acronym for Optical Character Recognition. This technology allows to automatically recognizing characters through an optical mechanism. In case of human beings, our eyes are optical mechanism. The image seen by eyes is input for brain. The ability to understand these inputs varies in each person according to many factors. OCR is a technology that functions like human ability of reading. Although OCR is not able to compete with human reading capabilities.
