Sign Language to Speech Conversion

Improvement in Science and Technology aims to better the world. The need for a comfortable and simplified life paves way to opportunities that can enhance the existing technology. The empowerment of differently abled will always stand as a priority. In this paper we propose the idea of a wristband that could convert sign (Hand gestures) to speech signals and enable the mute to enjoy the world in a better way. The wearable device uses the electrical impulses generated by movement of every finger to produce signs, each sign depicts a particular word. The band is a combination of wearable computer aided with sign to speech conversion techniques and a sensor suite. Compared to the existing methods, the proposed design provides a user-friendly experience and does not consider any specific parameter from the end user, this makes it a generalized band which can be worn by anybody. This would result in cost minimization when produced in large scale. The compactness of the design aims to provide more ease of usage.
