: This paper discusses the design and development of a wearable smart glove enabled with RFID technology for voice control. An Arduino UNO microcontroller is installed in the glove. system, an RC522 RFID reader, and a DFPlayer Mini audio module to provide a natural hands-free interaction. The system detects an NFC tag when a user's palm is placed close to it. It then plays a corresponding audio message through a speaker. Experiments have shown that the tag is reliably detected within 2- 3 cm, with a latency of less than 0.5 seconds and consistent performance over time. This low-budget, portable system demonstrates applications in assistive technology, industrial automation, and education. A buck converter takes power from a 9-volt battery and provides steady outputs of 5 volts and 3.3 volts for different parts of the system. The design of the glove focuses on being Modular, with low power consumption, and fast response in real time. Tests have shown it can consistently detect RFID signals from 2 to 3 cm apart, with response times below 200 milliseconds, in addition to reliable audio playback. This approach makes the system more accessible and user-friendly, and also less expensive and less complex than older designs of smart gloves that are based mostly on sensors or vision. In general, it's a great potential for assistive technology that controls machines hands-free, and create interactive learning spaces.
