Abstract

The design of a Sign Language Glove (Sign Glove) using Arduino technology, with the objective of increasing communication for those people who have hearing and speech problems. The Sign Glove is was designed to transform hand motions from American Sign English (ASL) into written text and spoken English, thus bridging the communnication divide between the deaf people and others who are not acquainted with sign language. The glove is combined with flexible flex sensors that can detect finger movements and accelerometer to capture hand posture and motion. The sensors are connected to Arduino microcontroller, which analyzes the sensor data and translate it into text presented on the screen and also, can produces audio output through a connected speaker. Other than that, the development method will use the design of the glove’s hardware, the programming of the Arduino that allows excellent gesrture recognition, and the implementation of an intuitive user interface. The system’s accuracy was tested by a series of test employing unique ASL signals, showing depandability and speed in translating in real-time. The results are going to show an incredible degree of precision and a user-friendly interface, suggesting that the Sign Glove has the capacity to considerably improve the daily contact for those persons who are deaf or hearing difficult. This work being done not only demonstrates the practical use of Arduino in assistive technology, but also shows the potential of technological devices in developing inclusive communication solutions. In the future, the sign glove might be improved with a larger vocabulary, more portability and a combanation of machine learning techniques to increase the accuracy of gesture detection.
