Desarrollo e implementación de un prototipo con tecnología asistiva para audiolectura dirigido a personas con discapacidad visual de la Institución Unidad Especializada Mariana de Jesús

Abstract

This thesis presents the development of an assistive technology prototype for audio reading designed for visually impaired users from the Specialized Educational Unit Mariana de Jesús in Quito, Ecuador. The system consists of smart glasses equipped with an ArduCam camera connected to a Raspberry Pi 4, capable of capturing printed text and converting it into audio using voice recognition, OCR, and text-to-speech technologies. Tests show that the prototype can recognize voice commands and transform printed text into audible information.
