ArSL speaking Gloves

Abstract

Mute people have trouble communicating with their surroundings, especially those who don’t know sign language, which makes them relatively isolated from their communities. In addition it's crucial for them to interact with others in order to live a normal life and hold jobs. This system is a development on a previous project that uses a right hand to translate letters and numbers from the Arabic sign language. ArSL speaking gloves use a variety of sensors and other digital components to build an easy to use communicating system to establish a one way communication process between a mute person and people who don't know sign language. The system uses both right and left gloves that translates common words and sentences from the Arabic sign language into audible sound.The resulting gloves grants the person wearing it a full hand and fingers movement despite all the components attached to it, which will reduce translation mistakes. The implemented system succeeded to enable a mute person to establish a conversation with other people with success rate of 98.02%
