SMART GLOVE FOR SIGN TRANSLATION TO TEXT AND SPEECH AND TEXT TO BRAILLE CONVERSION

Sign-language is one of the means of conveyance for people with hearing or speaking disabilities amongst themselves as well as other people. It is considered to be a globally recognised language. Each country may have its own slangs and its own modifications to the language. Hence it becomes a difficult to keep up with such dynamic behaviour of the language. Our project aims at creating a low cost, Arduino based Smart Glove which will be able to translate the gestures made in sign language and give an output in text as well as speech format. This output will be displayed on a mobile phone application using a Bluetooth module. A system to convert text which can be entered on the application to braille using vibrating motors would also be implemented.
