3RD Eye — YOLO and TTS in Jetson Nano

Visionary for the Blind and Visually Impaired

Third eye is the wearable device for the blind, aiming to tell them what is in front of them. We use object detection model as yolo and google tts to speak.

YOLOv5

Firstly, I use yolov5 and google tts. Let’s start with the installation first!

Here is the installation for the jetson nano to speak!

sudo apt install mpg123
sudo pip3 install gTTS

Then you run the code!

It works!

Congrats! The jetson can detect and speak, but it still doesn’t work real-time and could have more features. Next step, I will try to improve the accuracy of detection and have more features.
