Inspiration
Visiread has been an idea of mine for a long time. I have grandparents and relatives that have bad eyesight and blindness. This should definitely help people with bad eyesight or eye damage.
What it does
Visiread uses the webcam on any device and tells you the words that you are scanning out loud. If you can't read braille or if the text is something you can't touch, then visiread is the tool for you. All you have to do is take a picture of what you want to read and it repeats it to you. Or the simpler way is to just scan it. You may be asking, “If you’re blind, how can you see what you’re scanning’. With the scan tool all you have to do is scan in a circular motion and it will read it aloud to you.
