This paper presents an automatic document reader designed for those with visual impairments, utilising the Raspberry Pi hardware. It manages the add-ons that serve as a user interface for the system, such as a speaker and camera. Python computer programming and image sensing devices are utilised in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to identify printed characters. Both online and offline techniques are used in the OCR process. It first transforms a picture into text, and then it uses the GTTS (Google Text To Speech) library to turn the text into speech. With its improved configuration (RAM: 1GB, ROM: 8GB), the Raspberry Pi 3B Model offers an ecosystem for running Python code. This is adequate for storing voice in mp3 format and running Python code.
