Text Recognizing Smart Glasses

Text Recognizing Smart Glasses devised by students of the ‘Electrical Engineering Department’ can help understand the
text. The system consists of smart glasses with a camera mounted on it. The captured image is processed by the Raspberry
Pi 3 B+ attached to the arm of the user. OpenCV software and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tool Tesseract is
used to recognize text. Google’s Text to Speech (gTTS) API converts the text to audible signals, which can be heard through
headphones attached to the glasses.

when it brings

people together.”
