Abstract

Deaf-mute term is used globally to describe the people who are unable to speak orally and those who need to use sign languages with their hand gestures to deliver information to others. The problem arises when most people do not really familiar with sign languages, thus limiting the communications in daily life. There are some factors contributing to this, mainly that the society do not really recognized the mute-deaf and handicapped people to be part of them. There are not enough exposures as well in the education systems regarding these matters. So this project brings new encouragements and awareness towards realizing their needs to counter these issues. Thus, the project will be able to convert the sign language gestured by mute people to sounds and voices that can easily be understood by everyone. Arduino microcontroller is used to process all the inputs from sensors and convert them to readable data. This project also comes with an Android application to monitor all the parameters involved throughout the process. From the results as well, the data obtained have been analysed from calibration of sensors such as reaction of timing of hand gestures and the positioning of hand. These elements are crucial to get the best outcome and provide better users experience. The outcomes have been analysed and recorded for further researches for the future as well. From the project also, it has been found that most people are actually did not familiar with the sign language from the start. As the conclusion, this project is actually one of the approaches to put the recognition for the mute-deaf society to be acknowledged better in the future
