Wearable Electronic Gloves in Two-Way Communication to Convert Signs into Speech

Usual tasks such as, communicating messages and expressing feelings/thoughts, are easy for an average person with all functional organs. However, for differently abled personals day-to-day conversations are challenging. So they prefer writing down messages or making signs to communicate. The major drawback of sings is that, they can only be understood by those who are aware of the sign language. In this project, a two way communication system is introduced to convert signs to audio output using electronic gloves and speech to text using a speech-to-text converting application. Flex sensors are used to capture signs by the moments of fingers and their output is given as input to microcontroller and microcontroller’s output to speaker. Output from software which converts speech into text is given as input to microcontroller with the help of Bluetooth and LCD is used to display text from speech-to-text converter.
