Abstract :
A sign to letter translator system using a hand glove is proposed in this paper. The glove can be used by any deaf and/or mute person to communicate with people that do not understand sign language. The performed signs, with the hand wearing the glove, are displayed as alphabetic letters on the LCD. This glove can be very useful, efficient, and helpful for solving the communication issues that arise between the people suffering from hard of hearing and the people that do not. It consists of flex resistors that sense the change in gestures, a microcontroller that gathers, processes, and sends data to the LCD which shows the respective resulting letter. The Sign to Letter Translator is designed to facilitate the communication between the transmitter and the receiver so that the meaning of the message is properly reached and completely understood.
