Abstract

This study is a part of an Italian national project named STIPER, whose aim is the design and development of devices to help blind people in daily activities. This device acquires images of printed text, recognizes it through a set of Artificial Neural Networks and drives a Braille matrix or a speech synthesis engine in order to allow the user read text in real time by means of a common PDA device.
