Talking Gloves: Sign Language to Speech Conversion for Deaf and Mute Person

Abstract

Communication is the act of sharing information to produce greater understanding. It is both, an art and science. Like us humans, animals also have its own way of conveying information. We have evolved from one language and have been able to converse in various languages. IoT based Smart Gloves is an innovative system which will help the dumb interact with the normal people. This system uses a set of sensors that are attached to each finger on both hands. Each motion made and the bending of the fingers has its own separate meaning. The gloves read the motions and the orientation of the sensors. The basic task of this work is to develop a portable, reliable and an inexpensive prototype system.
