The world health organization estimates around 285 million visually impaired people in the world, out of which 39 million are blind so these peoples are not able to read text. Language barrier is one of the biggest issue which can be seen across borders and due to this issue people are not able to learn new languages. Many children have a hard time focusing and are easily distracted by long passages and words.
