Abstract - Individuals with physical disabilities and visual impairments may experience difficulty getting around independently and overcoming various challenges in their everyday lives. Using computer vision and artificial intelligence, physically and visually challenged people may do their main duties on their own, without assistance from others. This study uses a transformer encoder–decoder to provide users with auditory feedback based on sound categories like humans, animals, automobiles, etc. This gadget consists of an output device, a unit that processes data, a pair of glasses, and an obstacle-sensing module installed in the middle. The processing unit comprises an output unit, a control module, and an ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection. These ultrasound smart glasses for blind individuals are inexpensive, lightweight, portable, and simple to operate. The goal is to leverage the wearable design format's advantages to help with various everyday chores. The difficulty of creating a tool for the visually handicapped is not a new one. However, the field of creating computer-assisted tools is still in its infancy. In this research, we suggest a novel approach that adds certain additional features to help the blind person while combining the essential elements of several useful approaches. These types of innovations are thought to be a way to inspire blind students to finish their education despite all of their challenges. The major goal is to help blind individuals communicate by creating a new method of text reading for them. The glasses employed a variety of technologies, including Google Translate, to carry out their functions. The glasses do have several shortcomings, though, such as the need to improve their look to make them more wearer-friendly and compact.
