Abstract :
In this materialistic world, we often are worried about our daily routines and duties. We speak, communicate, travel to different places for different purposes. But, just imagine the plight of people who are dumb. How will they convey what they want, to people? Even if these people try to convey something we are not patient enough to listen. Our embedded base acts as a solution to this problem. When we produce sound from our mouth, there are vibrations produced in the vocal chords. The dumb produce sound that does not mean any sense in technical terms, the output is distorted. Our system is fixed at the lower jaw so as to sense these vibrations. Each sound made by the dumb person is Encoded/Decoded appropriately and the corresponding output is compared to a reference threshold that is stored in the microcontroller. Based on the output in the previous step a predefined voice for each signal is interpreted and given via a speaker which is integrated in the device. Thus, interpreting the distorted noise signals of the dumb person into a suitable predefined voice signal. Thus we have attempted to solve a very sensitive issue in this venture. We hope our system will act as a crucial crusader in the ocean of problems faced by the dumb people.
