This paper presents a novel medicine recognition system designed specifically for individuals with visual impairments. The system utilizes a camera to identify and provide audible descriptions of medication packaging, including pill bottles and pill organizers. Through the integration of deep learning algorithms, the system achieves high accuracy in recognizing medication labels and enabling users to independently manage their medication regimen. Additionally, the system incorporates accessibility features such as voice commands and feedback to enhance usability for individuals with varying degrees of visual impairment. User studies demonstrate the effectiveness and usability of the proposed system, highlighting its potential to improve medication management and independence for visually impaired individuals.
