Abstract

This document is a combination of three documents; the System Specifications Document, the Project report and the User manual. The Systems Specification Document has seven sections. The first section is an introduction containing the document's purpose, scope, reference material, definitions, and acronyms. The second section gives a system overview, describing the proposed system. Section three is the system architecture, which has the system's architectural design and decomposition description. Section four is the data design, which has a data description and a dictionary. Section five is the component design which has an overview of the components of the proposed system. Section six gives the human interface design which contains an overview of the human interfaces, screen images, screen objects, and actions of the system intended to be developed. Section seven is the requirements matrix which is used to trace system requirements. The Project report provides a comprehensive overview of the Reading Aid for the Blind project, an Android application designed to enhance access to printed material for visually impaired individuals. The report begins with the declaration, approval, dedication, and acknowledgments sections, acknowledging the contributions and support of individuals involved in the project. In the introduction, the background and scope of the project are presented, setting the context for the document. The system specifications chapter provides a detailed description of the Reading Aid for the Blind system, highlighting its version control, input and output capabilities, functionality, limitations, safety considerations, default settings, special requirements, and error handling. The design output chapter explores the implementation and compilation aspects of the project, emphasizing the importance of documentation. The inspection and testing chapter discusses the test plan, objectives, scope, levels, types, and sequence of tests, along with precautions and measures taken to ensure accurate results. The installation and system acceptance test chapter addresses the input and supplementary files used, along with the installation qualification process. The performance, servicing, maintenance, and phase-out chapter focuses on service and maintenance documentation, performance monitoring, and suggestions for future improvements. The report concludes with a summary of findings,

conclusions, and recommendations for further enhancements. An appendix containing a user manual provides detailed instructions on using the Reading Aid for the Blind application. Overall, this report serves as a comprehensive reference for the Reading Aid for the Blind project, offering insights into its development, functionality, testing, installation, usability and maintenance.
