MediTalker: Transforming Medicine Text into Speech

MediTalker is a smart healthcare solution designed to enhance accessibility for individuals with weak eyesight by converting medication text into audible information. Utilizing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Speech Synthesis technologies, MediTalker aims to provide clear and understandable medication details that are otherwise inaccessible due to unreadable packaging. The system processes printed text on medication labels and transforms it into speech, enabling users to hear critical medication information, such as dosage, instructions, and warnings. This solution empowers individuals with visual impairments to independently manage their medications, improving safety and quality of care. This paper discusses the architecture of MediTalker, its implementation, and its impact on visually impaired individuals, highlighting key use cases and future developments in assistive technologies.

Abstract

MediTalker is a smart healthcare solution designed to enhance accessibility for individuals with weak eyesight by converting medication text into audible information. Utilizing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Speech Synthesis technologies, MediTalker aims to provide clear and understandable medication details that are otherwise inaccessible due to unreadable packaging. The system processes printed text on medication labels and transforms it into speech, enabling users to hear critical medication information, such as dosage, instructions, and warnings. This solution empowers individuals with visual impairments to independently manage their medications, improving safety and quality of care. This paper discusses the architecture of MediTalker, its implementation, and its impact on visually impaired individuals, highlighting key use cases and future developments in assistive technologies.
