Hi friends, The technological revolution has changed the operations of many devices or appliances of our daily use from simple to complex and complicated for the visually challenged as these devices have turn digital. The use of a computer and reading an SMS or performing such type of task by a visually challenged person was once thought to be a dream but now it has become a reality because of the advent of screen reading programs, specialized OCRs and a variety of hardware products incorporating such programs but it may not be possible to make each and every device, appliance or a setup accessible as soon as it is put for the use. Thus it becomes difficult for a visually challenged person to access certain things like the menu displayed on an LCD TV screen, list of channels shown by a DTH set top box, buttons of an elevator (lift), Display of the musical notes or a virtual instrument on a musical keyboards, list of files and folders and the time on the display of a DVD player and so on. Visually challenged persons put an excessive load on their PCs and mobile phones to enjoy movies and music, listen to the news and TV shows etc. This necessitates the search of a portable device which must be user friendly and can scan the displays or buttons of an inaccessible device from a distance and convert the same in to an audio output. The proposed device may emit a beam of infra red rays which may strike the targeted device and reflect back to the sensor from where it may be scanned and converted in to the digital electronic signals and processed by an in-build micro processor and produce the desired output with the help of the pre-installed relevant software. We need the help and guidance from an electronics engineer and a computer expert specializing in programming. Please give your valuable suggestions in this regards so that I can take up this issue with the relevant personnel who are in contact with me.
