The visual disability person Accessible Shopping System aims to make shopping simpler for the visually disability population by giving these shoppers directions to the products on their shopping. Additionally, the system will help ensure that the right products are indeed purchased by providing the necessary functionality to scan and identify the products that the shoppers pick up at the shelf. The system will make use of Text-To-Speech primary output vehicle. Guidance system aims for cost-effective, assistive technologies to provide visual disability person with a greater degree of independence in their daily activities. The overall objective is to improve the quality of life for the visual disability person by harnessing the collective capability of diverse networked embedded devices to support grocery shopping, transportation, etc. This paper describes our research and development of the guidance system, a RFID Tag-based solution comprising components, such as a Pocket PC, Text-To-Speech software and a RFID.
