Sign language is a medium used for communicating feelings and emotions with normal people using expression and gestures. The focus of this research work is to create an IoT device that connects the real world and the people with disability. Physically challenged still prefer using sign language and our aim is to create a bridge that removes the communication gap between the disabled and normal people. The proposed design makes use of hand gloves mounted with flex sensors which recognize the characters and commands [4]. The gestures recognized will be displayed as audio and visual output through LCD and Bluetooth speaker. The Optical Character Recognition is used for the blind people in order to recognize the text-based images for audio and LCD display [16]. This system consists of live tracking as one of the modules for tracking the physically challenged people. The purpose is to enhance and improve the system for detecting sign language. The device not only converts sign languages to speech but also have incorporated modules like Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and live tracking[I].
