Across classrooms and campuses, visually impaired and dyslexic students face major barriers in accessing printed and handwritten learning materials. While screen readers and text-to-speech tools exist for digital text, most educational content from worksheets and handwritten notes to diagrams and printed textbooks remains inaccessible without human assistance. A document scanner that turns text from images and PDFs into text and then reads it aloud to the user. It works for signs, projectors, printouts, and more. It allows comprehension of these documents and assignments for visually impaired students. We also wanted to challenge ourselves not to call LLMs in our code, so we used more traditional means to build this. We have built the MVP. Going forward, we want to scale into an accessible wearable that visually impaired/dyslexic students can use in any learning environment.
