TEI2S (Text Embedded Image to Speech conversion) is a project which is really helpful for the visually impaired, in a sense that it takes an image containing text embedding as the input, extracts the text from the image, and converts this text to speech, i.e; the output is an audio file containing the text which is embedded in the provided input image.
