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 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 recognize 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. Thus, the main objective of this project is to design a glove that can translate sign language into text that will be displayed using an Android application. This Android application is be integrated with Arduino microcontroller as a system. Arduino converts the data into strings and transfers the data via Bluetooth connection. The data is displayed into text. The sign language translator device performed well during the experimentation. Several hand gestures showing basic greetings and daily conversation routines have been produced. As a conclusion, this project is one of the approaches to put the recognition for the mute-deaf society to be acknowledged better in the future. So, this project brings new encouragements and awareness towards realizing their needs to counter these issues.
