Abstract

Deaf-mute is a term of people who are unable to speak normally because of defective from birth or having accident that make them permanent disability. Deaf-mute people can produce sounds but cannot articulate well enough to speak or cannot formulate coherent words and sentences. They usually used sign language with the help of hand gestures to communicate or sending information to others. The problem arises when most people are not quite familiar with sign language, thus creating the communication abyss between normal people and deaf-mute people. Regarding to this problem, this project was based on non-vision technique. Non-vision technique used sensors. it that can reduce miscommunication by translating sign language from hand gestures into readable text or sounds that can easily be understood by everyone. The used of Arduino microcontroller is to process the inputs from sensors and convert them into readable data. This project also comes with the use of android application which is to monitor or display the output data that processed by Arduino microcontroller. This project was portable and user friendly. It also indirectly makes normal people understand sign language as well. From that, the miscommunication between deaf-mute people with the society can be eliminated. In conclusion, the used of this project was practically good for better communication in future.
