Abstract: Extension of the sign language that helps to overcome the communication barrier for hearing impaired as well as speech impaired people has been presented in the form of the proposed multi-purpose smart glove for converting sign language to speech translation. This glove combines different sets of sensors such as flex sensors to detect hand motions. The ATmega328 microcontroller processes the data and converts it into a readable format. This data is transmitted using an HC-05 Blue-tooth module to a receiving device where it is converted to speech output. The glove includes an LCD to display performed gestures in real-time and has an alarm for notifications. Experimental results demonstrate accuracy and reliability in gesture translation, making the glove a great assistive technology.
