Abstract
STIPER is an Italian national project whose aim is the study of devices to help blind people in daily activities. The core of the portable reader device is based on Artificial Neural Networks, used to recognize characters in real time beyond the fingers of blind people flowing on labels, restaurant menus and other printed objects. Neural Nets outputs are used to drive a Braille matrix, stimulating the fingertips of a blind person, and to speak by means of a common PDA device.
