Visual written information nowadays is the basis for most of the tasks but for visually impaired people reading printed text is a challenging task. Nowadays smartphones are very common and accessible to each and everyone. The objective of this project is to assist visually challenged elderly people in taking correct and timely doses of medicines without being dependent on others using their smartphones. Users need to take pictures of the backside of medicine strips with the help of their mobile camera in the app. The application will scan the text written on it with the help of optical character recognition (OCR) and with the help of text localization techniques it will extract medicine details from the wrapper of medicine. App also allows users to set reminders to take dosage of their medicine on time. This project is proposed to help visually challenged people with the help of Artificial intelligence, machine learning, image to text recognition and voice assistance.
