In this feasibility study the design and development of an interactive reader device for blind is examined. It is designed around a character recognition engine based on artificial neural networks and has a modus operandi that elaborates a continuous stream of images, acquired by a custom hardware, at the same time the user moves the device on the text he is trying to read. Indeed the system has to guide the user to follow the text flow, in a suitable way. This makes the proposed solution interactive, since it is a complementary sensory aid that gives information about the text it reads (by means of a tactile display and a speech synthesis engine) and at the same time the user has the ability to select the right operating mode and the actual device configuration.
