Portable bar code readers designed to help blind people
identify different products in an extensive product
database can enable users who are blind to access
information about these product through speech and
braille. But a big limitation is that it is very hard for blind
users to nd the position of the bar code and to correctly
point the bar code reader at the bar code. Some reading-
assistive systems such as pen scanners might be employed
in these and similar situations. It cannot handle screen
image with complex background. Objects must be placed
on a clear dark surface and must contain text

6. CONCLUSION
In this paper, we implemented a Product Label Reading
System that reads printed text on hand-held objects for
assisting blind person. In order to solve the common
aiming problem for blind users. This method can
effectively distinguish the object of interest from
background or other objects in the camera view. Unlike
Barcode reader and pen scanner , Our system uses camera
which does not require to detect the exact position of
barcode or label in an image and using an effective
algorithm, it detects Region of interest as well which is
then converted to text and further to audio using optical
character recognition(OCR).
