Abstract: The Optical Character Recognition is a mobile application. It uses smart mobile phones of android platform. This paper combines the functionality of Optical Character Recognition and speech synthesizer. The objective is to develop user friendly application which performs image to speech conversion system using android phones. The OCR takes image as the input, gets text from that image and then converts it into speech. This system can be useful in various applications like banking, legal industry, other industries, and home and office automation. It mainly designed for people who are unable to read any type of text documents. In this paper, the character recognition method is presented by using OCR technology and android phone with higher quality camera.
