Hand Talk Using Flex Sensor

This document describes a proposed "Handtalk" glove that uses flex sensors to detect finger movements and convert them into text or speech to allow deaf or mute people to communicate. The flex sensors would detect different finger curl patterns and motions. Currently the device can convert a few words, but more could be added later. When gestures are received, the corresponding pre-recorded voices would be reproduced through a speaker using an APR 3383 Voice storage and retrieval chip. The goal is to help those with speech defects communicate through single-handed sign language gestures translated visually and audibly.

HAND TALK USING FLEX SENSOR

ABSTRACT:
Technology has always been of great help to the disabled and given them a
helping hand to allow them to live a normal and healthy life like others. We have
come up with a novel idea of a glove named Handtalk that will convert hand
movements into text and allow the dumb to express themselves better. The
Handtalk glove needs to be worn on the hand by the deaf or mute person and
depending on the variation of movement, the device will convert it intelligently
into voice for the other person to comprehend it easily. The Handtalk glove senses
the movements through the flex sensors pads which detect the different patterns of
motion and the way the finger curls. The device can sense carefully each resistance
and each movement made by the hand. Currently the device can convert only few
words, but depending on the success of this device few more additional words may
be added later onto this expressive system. The Gestures can be converted to voice
by using a APR 3383 Voice storage and retrival chip. Prerecorded voices are
stored into APR Memory and when corresponding gestures are received, the
appropriate voices are reproduced by the APR through the speaker.

INTRODUCTION:

Sign language is the language used by dumb and mute people and it is a
communication skill that uses gestures instead of sound to convey meaning
simultaneously combining hand shapes, orientations and movement of the hands,
arms or body and facial expressions to express fluidly a speaker’s thoughts. Signs
are used to communicate words and sentences to audience. A gesture in a sign
language is a particular movement of the hands with a specific shape made out of
them. A sign language usually provides sign for whole words. It can also provide
sign for letters to perform words that don’t have corresponding sign in that sign
language. In this project Flex Sensor Plays the major role, Flex sensors are sensors
that change in resistance depending on the amount of bend on the sensor. In this
project we propose a Sign Language Glove which will assist those people who are
suffering for any kind of speech defect to communicate through gestures i.e. with
the help of single handed sign language the user will make gestures of alphabets.
The glove will record all the gestures made by the user and then it will translate
these gestures into visual form as well as in audio form. This project uses
microcontroller to control all the processes and flex sensors along with
accelerometer sensors will track the movement of fingers as well as entire palm. A
LCD will be used to display the users gesture and a speaker to translate the gesture
into audio signal is planned if possible for execution. This project can be further
developed to recognize complex like food, water, etc
