Techno-talk: An American Sign Language (ASL) Translator

In this paper, an accurate implementation of American Sign Language Translator is presented. It is a portable electronic hand glove to be used by any deaf/mute person to communicate effectively with the othesr who don't understand sign language. It provides the visual and audible output on an LCD and through a speaker respectively. This glove consists of five flex sensors that senses the variation in different signs, an accelerometer to distinguish between the static and dynamic signs, a contact sensor, Arduino Mega 2560 for processing of the data, VoiceBox shield, LCD and Speaker for the outputs. There exists a communication gap between the normal and the disabled people. A simpler, easier, useful and efficient solution to fill this void is presented in this paper.
