Hand Gesture Recognition and Voice Conversion for Speech Impaired

Abstract

It is a great privilege to be able to talk and express our feelings out and as well as hearing it from others, as a normal human being. But there are few people who are not able to express their feelings out and it is very difficult for them as well normal people to communicate with each other in establishing a healthier society. So in order to overcome these situations and to support Deaf and Dumb people with two way full duplex communication our proposed system will be highly helpful. The proposed system will build a bridge of communication for Deaf and Dumb people to interlink with normal people. The system focuses on use of American Sign Language with which the hand signals are performed and use of flex sensors through which inputs are taken. The processed signal will be converted into text message and into a voice message.
