Abstract
Sight loss can affect a person's quality of life, independence and mobility and has been associated with injuries from falls and impaired or worsening mental health, problems with social functioning such as finding work and continuing education. Compared to people with normal vision, the visually impaired are at greater risk of depression, anxiety and other psychological problems, and among the visually impaired, those with depressive symptoms report more functional limitations. The need for assistive devices for navigation and orientation has also increased. As an adaptation to the Braille reading system, we wanted to develop an assistive device that would use a smartphone's camera to read a written text.
