HI Nilesh
This is indeed a novel project and will help a lot of visually challenged and
old people.
you will need 2 modules. One will be an Optical character recognition (OCR)
and other is Text to Speech converter.
For the OCR you can look up free ocr on google.
For the second module you can look up "festival".
hope this helps.
regards
Abhijeet

Search http://freshmeat.net there are couple of ocr packages
Festival converts text to voice and is available in Debian. Works
well.

I presume you mean the binaries generated from C code rather than the
code itself.
What cpu? which flash device? what binaries?
C++? you might have to wait a couple of years for photonic storage
chips. They should have the storage capacity to store C++ generated
binaries and libs.
