1. Understanding the situation:

 Disabled persons are an important part of our society. With the advent of science and technology, efforts are being made to develop certain systems that make them feel and behave normally. Especially dumb people face problems to communicate with other people while expressing their feelings. So the requirement of a system that solves this problem for them increases many folds. Natural language of dumb people is hand movement. So development of a system that translates their gestures into text and voice is an ideal way to facilitate them to communicate with other people. For this purpose a special type of glove is used, which captures the gestures through sensors. It is connected to the computer. This glove is known as dataglove.

2. Objective of the Project:

The primary objective of our system is to convert the hand gestures of dumb people into text and voice.

3. Technical Section:

Summary:

Our system has five major phases:

1.      Learning the sign language.

2.      Capturing the gesture information from dataglove.

3.      Translation of this information to understand it.

4.      Translation is used to generate text.

5.      Text-to-Speech software component to convert this text into voice.

4. Project Results:

This system could be used at public places like airports, railway stations etc. and counters of banks, hotels etc. where there is communication between different people. Dumb people can easily communicate with normal people without any problem using this system. This system will help normal people to understand the language of dumb people.
