<div><p>One of the most important sense in human life is vision, without it one’s life is totally filled with darkness. According to WHO globally the number of people of all ages visually impaired is estimated to be 285 million, of whom 39 million are blind. Unfortunately, there are around 2.4 millions of people are blind in our beloved country Pakistan. Humanity has always high importance and the blind community is an essential part of the humanity. All the innovations and technologies are developed to make the human life easier and comfortable with each aspect. However, the blind community visionary disability would reduce their chance of using such innovated products. Therefore, blind community considered themselves as a burden for the society and they do not engage in basic routine activities which results in isolating the blind people from the society. Generally, this group of community is less enthusiastic to participate in additional normal life activities. The visual impair people mainly faces severe problems in their daily life. The aim of the proposed work is to turn the real time world into an audio world by telling blind person about the objects in their way and also can read printed text. This will enable blind persons to identify the things and read the text without any external help just by using the object detection and reading system in real time.</p> <p>Objects of project:</p> <p>1.      Object detection</p> <p>2.      Read printed text</p> </div>
