Travel Aid For Blind Using Android Application

Abstract

People who are visually impaired face many problems in their daily lives. For them, external navigation is a big problem. The objective of this paper is to break down the technological barrier, and propose a system by developing an Android application to help people with visual impairments travel on public transport such as bus or a train. In this proposed system GPS tracker of smart phone will be used to track the user's location. User uses Google speech which converts speech to text to enter location. The recommendation of this system is to install the GPS unit in public transport for tracking on time. This application will also help senior citizens.
