The new generation of mobile phones has great hardware ability and faster processing which is powerful enough to develop applications which help the user to connect and interact with the world at their own comfort zone. This system is an OCR reading system which uses camera application present in your smart phones combined with OCR (Optical Character Recognition). OCR is a mechanism which coverts images of typed, handwritten, or printed text into machine encoded text. This system will help you to take a picture or scan the document present with user using the phone's camera, the image will be scanned and the application will read the text written in English language and convert the output in speech format. The speech output is generated using Text To Speech Module. The purpose of delivering the output in form of voice/speech is to serve the information that is present on the document to the visually impaired.
