Inspiration

People with visual impairments often are unable to read smaller texts, even with the aid of reading glasses. With our app we hope to be able to provide an easy way to hear words read instead of having to strain your eyes trying to make out words that are just too small or blurry to read.

What it does

IPNiM converts the text from the picture taken and reads out the detected text from the picture.

How we built it

using android studio and amazon web services, we created an app that takes a picture, sends it to aws and reads out the file returned.

Challenges we ran into

Getting the files to aws Android Studio

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We all got some more experience working with Android app development.

What we learned

Android studio is complicated.

What's next for IPNiM

Potential translation option to translate texts in languages you don't know!
