GLOVE for Speech Recognition

Advancements in Biomedical field provide lot of assistive devices to help deaf people and visually impaired people. When it comes to the subject of deaf-blind people (who losses both hearing and visual ability) availability of such devices are very limited. Tactile signaling and manual alphabets are the most commonly methods used to make the reciprocal communication between the impaired and the surrounding environment possible. Existing devices like MyVox, Sparsha are use braille tactile reading/writing to make communication between two deaf blind users. Assistive systems available in market are high cost and invasive. The proposed system is wearable, non-invasive, compact and low cost. It can recognize the speech and convert into Morse code vibrations. Raspberry Pi is used to convert speech into text using microphone and then each text changed to Morse code using raspberry pi. These signals will be sending to micro haptic vibrating motors through GPIO pins of raspberry pi which are attached with user's fingers.
