This paper introduces a guide dog system with character recognition ability. The main purpose of this system is to assist blind people. A guide dog helps blind people to act corresponding to the surrounding environment. However, it cannot do complex tasks such as reading words. We constructed a system that can read characters to support blind people.

Usually, character recognition systems segment character from the general background by using some information. This time, our system focuses exclusively on reading a room number. Therefore, we used a method of character searching using template matching.
