Overview

(日本語が続きます) This app Grab 'n' Read is a Reading Assistant software specially designed for the blind/visually-impaired. The app allows the user to take photos of various objects in the environment, e.g. signboards, extracts and recognizes the text messages on the objects, and reads aloud the recognized text using the built-in Text-to-Speech engine. Thus, the visually-impaired people including the blind can virtually "read" the text messages through voice. Those who are suffering from dyslexia would also find this app useful. The user's operation is quite simple - just press the Grab button. This application runs on Windows 10 systems, and supports both keyboard and touch panel. The voice and its speed need to be set in the system setting before starting the app since the app follows the system voice setting. The current supported languages are English, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, while the user interface messages are limited to English and Japanese so far (volunteers are welcome). There is no network connection at all. (The Windows environment ensures it since the Internet Capability is turned off in the app development.)
