    Abstract

    The use of a "third eye" for blind OCR (Optical Character Recognition) application has been proposed as a potential solution for individuals with visual impairments to access printed text and to detect objects. This article describes an OCR system for the visually impaired that makes use of a Raspberry Pi and earbuds for audio output. The device converts printed text into digital format using OCR technology, providing an accessible way for the visually impaired to access printed information. The device is designed to be portable and user-friendly, with tactile feedback and audio prompts to guide the user through the scanning process. Our tests showed that the device was highly effective, with accurate OCR conversion and clear audio output. The proposed device represents a significant advancement in assistive technology for the visually impaired, providing an innovative solution for accessing printed information.
