Proposed an intelligent assistive system/device for the visually challenged people, which is composed of an intelligent walking stick, mobile device application and online information platform. Addressing the issues of People with Visual, Hearing and Vocal Impairment through a single aiding system is a tough job. The work focuses on finding a unique technique that aids the visually impaired by letting them hear what is represented as text and it is achieved by the technique that captures the image through a camera and converts the text available as voice signals. This provides a way for the people with Hearing impairment to visualize / read which is in audio form by speech to text conversion technique and we also implemented a way for the vocally impaired to represent their voice by the aid of text to voice conversion technique. All these activities are coordinated with the use of Raspberry Pi. The visually impaired people are helped by the process in which the image to text and text to speech is given by the tesseract OCR (online character recognition). When this visually challenged people hold the smart walking stick ,thus the obstacles can be detected, if he/she is fall down then the related information will be recorded and uploaded to the online platform and then will be received to the guardian/caretaker.
