Abstract
Accessing written information poses challenges for individuals with blindness or visual impairments due to the limited availability of braille. Concerns have been raised in Malaysia about disability and the treatment of people with disabilities, often known as Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU) or Persons with Disabilities (PWD). To address this, Blynus Vision with text-tospeech capabilities have been developed. This project introduces these glasses as a solution to empower the visually impaired to access information independently. The objective is to provide a practical tool that seamlessly integrates into everyday life, offering real-time conversion of text into spoken audio. The novelty lies in the integration of speakers and cameras into wearable technology, catering specifically to the needs of the disabled community. These glasses offer both convenience and usability, enhancing accessibility and promoting independence. The potential for commercialization is significant, given the demand for inclusive assistive technologies. In conclusion, smart glasses represent a promising advancement in accessibility, enriching the lives of individuals with visual impairments and fostering inclusivity in society.
