ABSTRACT
Communication for a person who cannot hear is visual, not auditory. Generally dumb
people use sign language for communication but they find difficulty in communicating
with others who don‟t understand sign language. So there is a barrier in communication
between these two communities. Smart Glove for Sign Language Translation is a work
that aims to provide a cost effective system which can give voice to voiceless person
with the help of Smart Gloves. This work consists of a glove equipped with sensors
which senses different sign language gesture, these senses data are fed to arduino UNO
and transfer data to android phone via Bluetooth module, a common android phone is
used in this work for sign to text and voice translation. In real life, the sign language
users mostly use both hands. Thus, this is a prototype work attempts to bridge the
communication gap between normal ones and the disabled by designing a portable glove
that captures the users gestures and outputs the translated text on a android phone. It
means that using smart gloves lowers the barrier in the means of communication.
