Abstract
In daily encounters, effective communication is essential, but those with speech and hearing impairments have several difficulties. To solve this, we created Smart Gloves that Speak, a creative and reasonably priced way to enable smooth communication. These gloves help people with communication challenges by translating basic hand motions into visual and aural outputs.
Our system combines an Arduino Uno microcontroller, an LCD screen, a speaker, and inexpensive components like aluminium foil to create circuits. The way the technology operates is by using the touch of fingertips implanted in metal to detect motions. When a circuit is finished, it activates preset commands that are shown on the LCD and uses a voice output module to translate these motions into speech. The solution keeps top functionality while cutting production costs to only ₹1,000 by doing away with the requirement for pricey sensors like flex sensors.
With up to 1,024 unique combinations that correspond to various programmed messages, the gloves can understand a wide variety of motions. This enables a broad range of use cases and easy modification. People are able to utilize the gloves efficiently in their daily lives because of its ergonomic and lightweight design. Furthermore, the use of gesture recognition technology facilitates wireless connectivity and improves real-time communication.
This initiative offers a significant way to encourage accessibility and inclusion. We show how technology can empower and change lives by giving them an affordable and user-friendly communication tool. A viable strategy for removing obstacles and encouraging more social integration is provided by the Smart Gloves that Speak.
