Sign Language Translator

Abstract: The Sign Language Translator Glove is an assistive wearable system designed to bridge the communication gap between speech- and hearing-impaired individuals and the general public. The system uses six flex sensors, three placed on each hand, to measure finger-bending patterns. These analog signals are converted into numerical values through an Arduino Mega microcontroller. Each sensor reading is compared against predefined thresholds to map finger states to specific gestures. The Arduino processes these patterns and displays the recognized gesture on an OLED screen. When a valid gesture is confirmed, the system outputs the corresponding text and audio message, enabling real-time gesture-to-text and speech translation.
