Kolkata: The visually impaired have a reason to smile, courtesy a new smartphone application that helps them ‘see the money’. The app aids in identification of notes.
‘See the Money’ detects the exact denomination from a simple photo of the note clicked via the phone. Developed by researchers Suriya Singh, Kumar Vishal and C V Jawahar from the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Hyderabad, and Shushman Choudhury from IIT Kharagpur, the currency recognition software relays the information as an audio clip.
