Visual perception, while an important means to navigate the world, can be replaced, as proven and demonstrated by studies on perception in animals, including humans. The system uses the tools and techniques of machine learning to create an application that would help the visually impaired to see thus giving them newfound hope for enjoying the richness and complexity of the world, all the while successfully navigate in it. The android application presented in this paper aims to enable people with visual impairment to live more independently. It uses a smartphone to capture real-time input data, with this approach the user could easily read menu cards in restaurants, hotel room number or even find their belongings. The system can recognize various objects at which the user is looking in its surrounding. The app uses a voice control feedback mechanism through which the user can perform various tasks with the help of his voice.
