In order to address these difficulties by providing an device that will help the visually impaired people to shop independently by using different technologies.
The proposed system consists of different modules such as product reorganization and section information which will process on raspberry pi3 model. Product reorganization includes Optical Character Recognition and Text to Speech software which will help user to identify the product. Section information will help user to get the section information by using Bluetooth (HC-05) technology. Ultrasonic sensor will detect the obstacle and alert the user using beep sound.

Keywords: Optical Character recognition, Raspberry Pi, Bluetooth, Ultrasonic Sensor
