This paper is about a device that is used to convert image text into voice. Language is one of the main problems in communication. The primary motivation of this project is to provide a user-friendly interface for blind people. Input is text for books, papers, magazines, etc.; output is in speech form. This system is for blind people. Whatever the input given to the device, the output is produced in speech. The optical character recognition (OCR) engine is mainly used for the conversion process. Python coding is used for the conversion process. The main components are the Raspberry Pi, camera module, headphones, or speaker. Worldwide, many people are blind and unable to read the text present in papers; this is the system very useful for blind people for knowing information in papers.
