Visually impaired individuals encounter numerous challenges in their daily lives. We might be surrounded by some of them. Performing everyday tasks can be daunting for someone with a visual impairment. Thus, this study aims to develop a tool that serves as a personal assistant for visually impaired individuals. This research outlines the interconnected modules and functions of a proposed application designed to aid individuals who are blind. The concept revolves around providing visually impaired individuals with an Android-based system equipped with a virtual assistant, enabling them to independently perform certain simple tasks without relying on assistance from others. The objective of the system is to provide voice-guided assistance to blind individuals for tasks such as reading, object identification, navigation assistance, and understanding their surroundings. The project comprises a camera, mobile device and audio system. Our project aims to address these issues comprehensively by focusing on every aspect of the challenges faced by visually impaired individuals, thereby developing an Android system to enhance their daily lives.
