— Communication is a fundamental form of human interaction, but sometimes it becomes inconvenient, problematic and expensive for deaf-mute people to communicate with non-ASL speakers. This paper aims to bridge the communication gap between people with inability to speak and Non-ASL speakers to communicate conveniently. In the current work, we developed a smart glove which detects gestures using flex sensors and accelerometer/gyro-meter to detect the motion of hand in space. The experimental results implies that system is accurate and cost effective. The gestures are then mapped to a database of supervised data using KNN algorithm to recognize English alphabets, numbers and basic sentences.
