In our country around 2.78% people are not able to speak properly. Such people find it difficult to communicate with other people. They sense a gap of communication while interacting with other people, due to which they are not able to express their emotions and feelings openly. So the proposed idea is to develop a device called as hand assistive system for deaf and dumb people. This project tries to solve various problems faced by deaf and dumb people. The main idea of this project is to somehow reduce the barrier of communication between deaf-dumb and normal people. To minimize this barrier, the proposed device converts their hand gestures into voice which a normal person can understand. This device consists of gloves, flex sensors, accelerometer sensors, microcontroller, voice module and 16x16 LCD display. The voice module will basically convert the gestures into real time speech output and display will give text for corresponding gesture. So, this device provides an efficient way of communication for both deaf-dumb and normal people.
