There is an estimation that about 70 million people in the world are mute peoples. There is no proper statistics on the number of mute peoples as Census of India doesn't reveal any official releases on the numbers. They use sign language to communicate. Sign language is the language used by mute people and it is a skill that uses gestures instead of sound to communicate with other people. But it is difficult to communicate with people who don't understand sign language. Research and projects have been done to overcome their disability but it has been very expensive. Hence to provide assistance to these people we are making a device that could speak the words based on the gesture made by the mute people so that everyone can understand. This device is controlled by PIC16F877A Microcontroller that gets input from the flex sensor that is fitted in the gloves. The gloves is worn by the people who needs to communicate with other people through gestures resulting in voice output through APR33A3 circuit. The program is fed to the controller through MPLab software.
