Multipurpose Application for the Visually Impaired

Abstract
It has always been difficult for a visually impaired individual to navigate around without assistance. Even for them, a constant need arises of having all the relevant functions bundled up together in an application for their ease. Hence, the objective of this paper focuses on providing a multipurpose android application for the visually impaired to aid them via an intelligent and convenient, handheld device i.e smartphone. This app is an integration of several technologies, which starts with a key function - object detection to detect the presence of objects around the user concurrently communicating them through the device speaker/headphone.It further implements Speech recognition and synthesis, TexttoSpeech conversion and alerting the user and their relations when the device battery is low.
