Abstract


Smart Gloves helps the disabled people to lead a normal life. Their interaction with others is only by using their hands and expressions. They usually have tough time talking to others and hence this will help them communicate .It helps him/her to convert his/her hand gesture into text and voice. This helps normal people to understand what he/she is trying to say and reply accordingly. This device recognizes and understands every motion of the user using the motion sensors. A Smart Glove with flex sensors and accelerometer is attached to recognize hand gesture. Based on the gesture, raspberry pi code converts it into text and sends it to the cloud. That message is stored in a database. Every movement made is matched with the database and speech signal using Google speech API is produced which can be heard through the mobile speaker. The aim of the project is to make a smart hand gloves which might minimize the obstacles for the disabled.
