Audible Appliances

Client: Nicholas Hellawell <Nicholas.hellawell@tiscali.co.uk>

Many home appliances would be perfectly usable by visually impaired users, except for interaction via a display screen. An example is the exercise bicycle owned by your client. Your task is to create a simple accessory that can be attached to the bicycle display screen, using a Raspberry Pi camera to find and decode relevant parts of the display, and read necessary information out loud during an exercise session. In principle, this functionality could provide a customisable screen reader that might be attached to any kind of device to add screen reader functionality.
