Voice Assisted Embedded Navigation System for the Visually Impaired

Abstract: For visually impaired people, a cane is a close companion helping them to detect and avoid obstacles while walking. But while walking in a new or changed environment, it is hard for them to guess where they are. Also it will be a problem when they lose memory of locations and places. The standard method for taking notes by visually impaired is to emboss Braille dots on a paper, which can be read by feeling the dots by fingers [16]. It is difficult to imprint, copy, transfer or edit these writings. With the adv… Show more

“…Having said that, the system can also be modified so that it supports other important needs like -navigation, textto-speech output, FM Radio etc. Since it is considered difficult for a lonely visually-impaired to reach a destination, voice navigation system [11] [12] can come handy. The map routes can be fed into the database and after entering the destination point, user is guided along the route through voice commands.…”
