Notifying Glove for Dumb People

Abstract

In our day to day life most of the task involve speaking. Around nine million individuals on the planet are considered to be hard of spearing or hearing or both. Particularly in our country about 1 percent of peoples are not able to speak. Their disability to speak makes their communication difficult with others. Mute people use sign language for communicating with others. But it is difficult to understand by a layman. In order to overcome such difficulty a notifying glove is designed. In the previous year's a sensor based electronic gadget has been designed which displays the alphabets used in sign language. To overcome the limitation of alphabets alone is not sufficient to facilitate communication. In order to overcome this drawback a Notifying glove is designed. This glove works on flex sensor. A basic message's are stored in the backend for each flex sensor. The flex sensor attached to each fingers on glove triggers when each flex sensor is bent. Accordingly each message is displayed in the mobile in the text and voice format. These flex sensors are connected to Arduino. And a Bluetooth module is used to transfer data from flex sensor to mobile. An app is used to convert text and voice message. In the initial stage of project a minimum of five messages are displayed using the glove. This glove has a simple design and is cost efficient so that it can be affordable to all the people.
