Abstract :

            A couple of books projects for you today. One is simple, practical and of great use to the visually-impaired. The other is over-complicated, and a little bit nuts; nonetheless, we think it’s rather wonderful; and actually kind of useful if you’ve got a lot of patience. We making open-source audiobook software so you can build a reader with very simple raspberry pi controls. Here we present to you the Brick Pi Book reader which can read aloud a real book and also turn the pages of the book

            The Raspberry Pi is a credit card sized single computer or SoC uses ARM1176JZF-S core. SoC, or System on a Chip, is a method of placing all necessary electronics for running a computer on a single chip. Raspberry Pi needs an Operating system to start up. In the aim of cost reduction, the Raspberry Pi omits any on-board non-volatile memory used to store the boot loaders, Linux Kernels and file systems as seen in more traditional embedded systems. Rather, a SD/MMC card slot is provided for this purpose. After boot load, as per the application program Raspberry Pi will get execute.

Existing System:

• Visually-impaired people is can’t able to read the book without another person.

Proposed System:

• Improve their self-confident level.
• Not any Third person Interaction.
• One of the goals is to help visually-impaired people, appreciate Book reader for the efficient system it is.

Block Diagram Explanation :

                        The Raspberry Pi camera takes a picture of the page, The OCR engine converts the image file we take of the book into text. The converted text in to espeak voice command while speaks it aloud through speakers connected to the Raspberry Pi. Once the page completed means, the motor with the rotating arm has turnover the page.

Hardware Requirements :

• Raspberry Pi
• Motor
• SD card
• Pi camera
• Speaker

Software Requirements :

• Wheezy  Raspbian
• Language – Linux , Python
