Abstract: Human beings have a natural ability to see, listen and interact with their external environment. Unfortunately, there are some people who are deaf and mute can't use their senses to the best extent. There are around 300 million deaf and mutes in the world. They depend on other means of communication like sign language. This produces a major barrier for people in the deaf and mute communities when they attempt to interact with others, especially in their educational, societal and professional environments. Therefore, it is necessary to have a sign language detection system to bridge the communication gap between deaf people and the normal people. This electronic glove designed to help an easy communication by interpreting the sign language. The gesture recognition is done using the electronic glove which consist of accelerometer sensors and flex sensors which are positioned on fingers. The acceleration and bend values of a hand motion are observed by microcontroller and it displays the corresponding text through LCD. This system allows individuals with hearing and speech impairments to communicate effectively by converting sign language gestures, captured through an electronic glove, into text displayed on an LCD screen. It can also assist speechless patients with partial paralysis who cannot speak but retain finger mobility.
