Abstract: Communications between deaf and dumb people and normal people have been a difficult task. The communication is made possible by the help of an interpreter. This project aims to eliminate the need of an interpreter. It is possible because of the invention of hand-talk glove. Hand-talk gloves come equipped with glue sensors and accelerometer. Flex sensors and accelerometer produces different values for different sign languages used by physically challenged people. A PIC identifies the symbols after processing the sensor values. The output is displayed on LCD display. A text-to-speech converter is also used to convey the message more efficiently.

Keywords: Deaf, dumb, sign language, flex sensor, accelerometer, hand-talk glove
