WEARABLE COMMUNICATION AID FOR PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED PEOPLE USING HAND GESTURES

Wearable Communication Aid for Physically Handicapped Using Hand Gestures is an assistive communication solution designed to help individuals with speech impairments express their thoughts through intuitive hand movements. The proposed system translates predefined hand gestures into audible speech using embedded electronics and sensor-based gesture recognition. An Arduino microcontroller acts as the core processing unit, interfacing with flex sensors mounted on a glove to capture finger movements, along with MEMS and IR sensors to detect hand orientation and motion. The sensed data is analyzed in real time and mapped to corresponding voice messages stored in an APR33A3 voice module. This portable and user-friendly device offers an effective means of communication for mute individuals, enhancing social interaction and independence in daily activities.
