Inspiration
In present there are no such apps for the blind to make them read like any normal person. For this reason Team NETRA has taken up this problem and tried to solve it. NETRA in Sanskrit means "Eye". So NETRA App is like eyes to a blind person and helping them to read.
What it does
The app can be used by a blind or visually impaired person to read. It has only the volume up and down button to operate as the app will be used by a blind person ,so simplicity of usage is a main criteria. It will also help in education of blind students as they can read a book without a braille using this app.
How we built it

Challenges we ran into
We had various problem while making NETRA like unable to link firebase ML into the project, syntax errors ,App stopping after installing ,unable to import libraries etc.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We took help of the internet specially Stack Overflow to solve the errors and after continuous work all the errors are solved and we had a perfectly working App.
