V App is an Android-based application designed specifically for visually impaired or blind students, enabling them to access educational materials and updates independently. Traditionally, visually impaired individuals often required assistance to read visual content or retrieve information. This app empowers users by providing voice-controlled access to study materials, notes, videos, assignments, and updates, all without the need for a third party’s help.
The V App is designed to simplify tasks for visually challenged students, allowing them to interact with their academic environment through voice commands. The system reads out loud recent updates, assignments, notices, and much more, making learning and staying up to date easier and more efficient.
