Generally, visually challenged people are unable to read books as like as a normal person. They use Braille script for reading and writing which is one of the basic techniques for them to read books and to take notes. A survey has been taken in the year 2017, in which they declared that people were completely visually impaired is around 36 million and 25% of people affected with moderate visual impairment. in average. Nearly 200 million people got affected with complete visual impairment and 1.1 billion people with near vision impairment. Nearly 5 million of visually impaired people are women. Due to various problems faced by visually challenged people several hospitals were established for giving therapy for them. Around 1,54,000 hospitals are serving for the visually challenged peoples in India. According to care survey conducted by CAGR, the growth of hospitals for visually challenged will increase more than 100% i.e. 3,25,000 by the year 2035. Usually many devices have been developed to read books for visually challenged people but, these devices need of an external support. They are ineffective in use. In order to overcome this problem, our team has developed a device for visually challenged people to read books as like as a normal person.
