Dear Colleagues, it gives us immense pleasure to present our next series of RC Tech Talk today at 6 PM which will be live on our youtube channel. Through this session, we bring to you yet one more unique innovation which makes the life of the visually challenged person more independent and efficient. In this episode, We bring to you one device called Prakash - An AI Powered Vision Assistant developed by Paraclete Image Labs Private Limited. to demonstrate the features of Prakash, to share their journey, Santhiya Rajan will be present who is the founder of Paraclete Image Labs Private Limited along with Suresh Gunasekaran who is the co-founder of Paraclete Image Labs. Getting an education is very different for the visually impaired. When they are young, they head to blind schools and have access to books written in Braille format. At school, they have others whom they can relate to and learn with. Access to content isn't difficult either. But can the same be said when they go for higher education? A myriad of college reading material is either given out electronically — through PDFs and e-books — or written in the form of journals, papers and textbooks. In such cases, the visually impaired has two options, they can either get the electronically distributed reading material printed in Braille or listen to audiobooks, if they are available. Now, both of these are quite expensive and this is where the importance of this device plays a crucial role as a start-up that specialises in helping the visually impaired get access to reading material through the help of technology like Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning. They have developed a software called Prakash, which can scan any document and read it aloud for visually impaired students. They can also upload an electronic document in the software and make it read aloud. But what sets it apart? It is developed specifically for regional Indian languages and can understand and read aloud in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Hindi and English. And it does all of it offline! It also comes with Special Feature Packs for Partially Blind People! We are sure that it sounds interesting to you! You are cordially invited to watch this episode which will be broadcasted on our youtube channel today at 6 PM for which the link is given below.
