Phone Reader Project

This presentation outlines the Phone Reader project, designed to assist individuals in reading and understanding text from images. Recognizing challenges faced by non-native speakers, dyslexics, blind people, and illiterates, the project employs advanced image processing techniques to convert text from photos into speech. The implementation includes methods such as cropping, despeckling, and deskewing images, followed by using Tesseract for OCR. Future work aims to improve character recognition, add spell-check features, and expand language support. Join us for a demo and insightful discussion.
