Automation frees human workers to handle the imaginative side of things, leading to better product variety. Internet of Things (IoT) conceptualizes the idea of remotely connecting and monitoring real world objects (things) through the Internet. The system focuses on building a gadget that makes use of the barcode, the user scans for the barcode and the product is predicted and converted from text to speech using raspberry pi. The alert is sent as soon as the barcode is scanned. If the details of the product are obtained after scanning, then it is outputted through microphone. Otherwise, if only the product ID is obtained, the information is obtained through web scraping.
