SummarySummaryDue to the need for an adequate scanning Due to the need for an adequate scanning solution for sightsolution for sight--constrained individuals, this constrained individuals, this project centers around creating a scanner that project centers around creating a scanner that will fit these needs. This scanner does not only will fit these needs. This scanner does not only scan barcodes on prescan barcodes on pre--defined products, but also defined products, but also it will tell the user verbally what the product is. it will tell the user verbally what the product is. By using this designed product, blind individuals By using this designed product, blind individuals will have an easier time managing their personal will have an easier time managing their personal inventories.inventories.
