Text Translation Glasses
This project is an attempt in this direction to build a novel smart glass which has the ability to extract, recognize and translate text captured from an image and convert it to speech.
The problem Text Translation Glasses solves
- Looking around and we stumbled upon the fact that the visually challenged are so dependent on others for their daily chores. Even for a small task as trivial as reading newspaper, they have to suffer a lot because of their infirmness. So we aim to devise a solution by building text detection glasses which will convert any text to speech making their life much easier and independent.
- **Secondly the glasses are also capable to translate a language to any other language hence making it a good language translator, as we travel to different nations it is harder to communicate with others due to language barrier. **
- It can be also used in navigation and language processing of various Bots and Drones once built by integrating the technology in them.
Challenges we ran into
- Training a NLP Model is time consuming and getting the required accuracy is quite difficult.
- Well to be honest the model crashed twice which takes 6 hours to complete.
- We have to use various OpenCV Filters to remove noise from the captured image.
