Abstract

There are over two million children in India living with vision loss, and only 5% receive education. One of the largest reasons for this is unavailability of teachers with training in special education, or even basic knowledge of handling students with special needs. Education for blind children can be expensive. The expenses include printing Braille scripts, printing tactile graphics, costly technology, etc. The project aims at reducing the cost of education of blind children and making the application interactive with the help of audio interaction. The project will detect finger/touch based input, process the input as per the module selected and give audio output.
