Abstract - It is quite challenging for mute people to communicate with non-mute people, because most of the people are not trained in hand sign language. So, communication becomes hard to do, especially in an emergency or when they are travelling in a new setting. To make it simple smart speaking system is proposed, which allows mute people to communicate with hearing people through hand gestures. A speaker unit, a hand motion reading device, and accelerometer sensors are used in this system and it is powered by battery-operated circuitry. An Arduino Nano is used for data processing and system management. The technology helps mute people communicate by giving them access to four to five present messages, such as "Need some help", "Can you help me?" and others. For numerous hand movement types, the system interprets user hand gestures. As a result, when the user is simply making unconscious hand motions, the system will not speak. The Arduino Nano microprocessor continuously receives sensor input values and processes them. If the sensor values match with the message, then it will be retrieved from memory and pronounced out loud through the interfaced speaker using Gesture to speech technology. Instead, we employed a mobile application in our proposed system "Speaking System for Mute People Using Hand Gesture."
