Abstract
The proposed work aims for the betterment of the visually impaired people by helping them to perform their basic needs independently. The Ultrasonic Blind Stick comes with a built-in voice assistant through which the users can perform actions like making a phone call, knowing the time, current weather, setting reminders etc. The stick also comes with a built in GPS system. This can be used by the blind person to transmit their location to a predefined mobile number at the press of a button. This can also be used to track the stick in case it gets lost. The stick detects the objects at a distance and warns the user that they are approaching an object. The stick also identifies the object as the user goes near to the object and informs the user what the object is. A voice assistant system is developed. This system converts voice into text. Recognition of voice varies due to dictionary size and the type of speech. The system should extract the features and should be trained to find the correct words. Another aim of the proposed work is to detect the object and informing the blind person using deep learning algorithm technique. For every object there will be a value generated which compares it to a predefined set of values and checks similar values. Once the value matches, output will be displayed in such a way that it indicates the object name and the deduction percentage of the object.
