Enhancement of designing the smart glove

Abstract

Voice glove is a system that helps the deaf and dumb people to communicate with normal people without Interpreter. It wants to break that barrier between these people and normal people and helps them to live a normal life. A voice glove was designed to facilitate an easy communication through recorded speech for the benefit of speechless patients. This paper is aimed to improve the designing of the smart glove where the Gestures of fingers of a user for this glove will be converted into a memory address which is used to hit the memory location in which voice message is stored to convey an audible message to others. The glove is internally equipped with multiple flex sensors that are made up of "bend-sensitive resistance elements". For each specific gesture, internal flex sensors produce a proportional change in resistance of various elements. The processing of this information sends a unique set of signals to the PIC Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) microcontroller which is preprogrammed to speak desired sentences stored in Secure Digital (SD) memory card. � Research India Publications.
