2.  Quick Recap  High Level Design  Low Level Design  User Interface Specification  Project Plan  References  Demo

3.  Problem ◦ Text in foreign languages are not understood ◦ Users with impaired vision ◦ Users that are illiterate.  Previous Solution ◦ Excellent novel idea.  Proposed Solution ◦ Application with which users can take pictures, make selections and have selections read on their command.

4. Take Picture or Opening an existing one Take Picture or Opening an existing one Make Selections Send to server Source image and coordinates Image pre- processing Optical Character Recognition and translation Send extracted text to device Text-to- speech Audio playback

5. Image Segmentation: main(){ Load image from the command line Read in the text file 4 lines at a time Store every line in a variable corresponding to the coordinate //(Line 1: Left, Line 2: Top, Line 3: Width, Line 4: Height) while(there are lines in coordinates file){ segmentIntoRegions(image, left, top, width, height) } segmentIntoRegions(image, left, top, width, height){ clone the image into another image set a region of interest on the cloned image and the given coordinates crop the image on the region of interest and save it into its own file }
