SignTalk and animator for speech and hearing imapaired

Abstract

Communication is basic fundamental human right, however who are deaf and mute communicate differently than everyone else using Sign Language (SL), while we communicate verbally. This puts them at disadvantage. Our system will help them better communicate with rest of the world without changing how they already interact with each other. The system, SignTalk i.e. Hand gloves will translate sign language to voice. Flex sensors, accelerometer, gyroscope, are placed on hand gloves to capture hand movements. Arduino Nano recognizes these signals and sends it to smart phone via Bluetooth for voice generation. Animator is an android application that takes text sentences as input and converts it to 2D animations for facilitating two way communication.
