Synopsis

Smart Book Page Flipper and Reading Device presents the design and development of an innovative assistive technology that enables individuals with physical disabilities and visual impairments to access printed books independently. The system combines an automated page-turning mechanism with an intelligent text-to-speech module to provide a hands-free and inclusive reading experience. Built around a Raspberry Pi controller, the device employs a suction-based page-flipping mechanism driven by multiple motors for reliable page handling. A high-resolution camera captures the contents of each page, while Optical Character Recognition (OCR) extracts the printed text. The extracted text is then converted into natural-sounding speech using advanced text-to-speech technology, allowing users to listen to book content without manual intervention. The book covers the complete development process, including mechanical design, embedded system integration, motor control, camera interfacing, OCR implementation, speech synthesis, software architecture, and system testing. It also discusses practical challenges, accessibility standards, and future enhancements using artificial intelligence and computer vision. Intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, faculty members, and professionals in biomedical engineering, mechatronics, robotics, embedded systems, and assistive technologies, this book provides both theoretical foundations and practical implementation guidance for developing intelligent assistive reading systems that promote accessibility, independence, and inclusive education.
