Electronic Speaking Glove for Speechless Patients A Regional Tongue to a Dumb

A. Y. Satpute; A. D. Bhoi

We describe an ELECTRONIC SPEAKING GLOVE, designed to facilitate an easy communication through recorded speech (voice message) for the benefit of speechless patients. Generally, a speechless person communicates through sign language which is not understood by the majority of people. This project is designed to solve this problem. Gestures of fingers of a user of this glove will be used to hit the memory location where voice message is stored to convey an audible message to others, for example in a critical communication with doctors. The glove is internally equipped with multiple flex sensors that are made up of "bend-sensitive resistance elements". For each specific gesture, internal flex sensors produce a proportional change in resistance of various elements. The processing of this information sends a unique set of signals to the PIC (Peripheral Interface Controller) microcontroller which is preprogrammed to speak desired sentences stored in aIVR.
