“Glasses” that transcribe Text to Audio.

Glasses for the blind might sound like an odd idea, given the traditional purpose of glasses and the issue of vision impairment. However, [Akhil Nagori] built these glasses with an alternate purpose in mind. They’re not really for seeing. Instead, they’re outfitted with hardware to capture text & read it aloud.

It’s funny to think about how advanced this project really is. Jump back to the dawn of the microcomputer era, and such a device would have been a total flight of fancy — something a researcher might make a PhD and career out of. Indeed, OCR and speech synthesis alone were challenge enough. Today, you can stand on the shoulders of giants and include such mighty capability in a homebrewed device that cost less than $50 to assemble. It’s a neat project, too, and one that I’m sure taught [Akhil] many valuable skills along the way.
[ImageSource: Akhil Nagori] Yes, we’re talking about real-time text-to-audio transcription, built into a head-worn format. The hardware is pretty straightforward: a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W runs off a battery and is outfitted with the usual first-party camera. The camera is mounted on a set of eyeglass frames so that it points at whatever the wearer might be “looking” at. At the push of a button, the camera captures an image, and then passes it to an API which does the optical character recognition. The text can then be passed to a speech synthesizer so it can be read aloud to the wearer.

Teresa here is a character from one of the serialized fiction i write. #BeatPreyLove is the story i keep coming back to.

Her latest design was inspired by a Filipino bakery i used to go to a lot. In story, her roommate is a coffee snob and works as a barista. They now have a coffee and cakes theme.

You can read one of her fights here https://howdoyouspell.cool/sodiumreactor/beat-prey-love-pound-cake-in-the-oven

Thanks again to https://thejefersonchan.carrd.co/ for the fantastic art.
