Speaking Aid for Deaf and Dumb using Flex Sensors

Communications between deaf-mute and a standard person have invariably been a difficult task. About nine thousand million people in the world are deaf and dumb. They are introverted closed society. They do not have normal opportunities for learning and Face serious problem in communication with normal people. Existing application focus only on recognition of sign language. The project's aim is to actually help them to communicate with normal people. The project aims to facilitate individuals by means of a glove based mostly deaf-mute communication interpreter system. The glove is internally equipped with four flex sensors. For every specific gesture, the flex detector produces a proportional amendment in resistance and measures the orientation of hand. Four flex sensors are used to produce 16 combinations which produces 16 Speech outputs. The 16 combinations are binary combinations using four flex sensors. The analog output is converted into digital binary output and depending on the binary output speech output is generated. Citation: Manjari. S, Rajalakshmi Engineering college, Thandalam; Monisha.
