A more reliable system for speechless patients to supplement their limited communication abilities is being presented in the paper.A normal human cannot understand the sign language shown by dumb people, and due to this the effective communication decreases.In order to help dumb people express their abilities in a regular manner similar to normal people, the sign language shown by them is converted into audible voice through gesture recognition.Important things that are related to signs shown by dumb people are the movement of fingers and the position of fingers.This is done with the help of flex sensors.The data taken from flex sensors is fed to MSP430 microprocessor, which is pre-programmed using Energia software tool.Then the required audible message is chosen from APR9600 voice module and the voice is heard through speaker.All these components are to be placed on a wearable glove which is worn by the user.
