MLab’s Optophone Repository from Kits for Cultural History Series #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
From UVic Maker Lab on vimeo:
As part of its “Kits for Cultural History” series and prototyping the past initiative, the MLab developed a repository for remaking an optophone, which was a reading aid for the blind that converted type into audible tones, beginning in the 1910s and extending until at least the 1960s. The kit foregrounds contributions by Mary Jameson, and it runs Python, OpenCV, and Tesseract on a Raspberry Pi with a camera attached.
