My eye is my ear. My hand is my mouth.

A solution by Draken Technology Transfer Association submitted to Makers with 3D printing for disabled people

Our proposal is robotic glove which translates sign language to audiable speech for the friction of the price of the nowadays sytems. We already have a working prototype, which can translate using microcontrollers, and we need funds to make it a finished products which can be created by fellow makers and enthusiasts.

“Blindness separates people from things;deafness separates people from people.” - Helen Keller

It has been proven that signed languages also have a special phonetics, morphology and syntax. In general, a given spoken language determines the characteristics of its sign language. The vocabulary is arranged according to a precise grammatical rules so there might be dialects too. The learning difficulties of sign languages can be compared to spoken languages.
Nowadays one of the biggest challenges how to facilitate the life of people who have disabilities. For this purpose many device have been developed so far which can assist in many situation for the people who need.
Our device is able to help the communication in the sign language for those people who haven’t got opportunity or enough time to study this language. The fundamental conception of our equipment is the flex sensors. These sensors can be used to detect bending. When a person gestures, the flex sensors bend with the fingers. In this way we built a prototype device which can translate the sign language into speech. We want to build a device which we can use in the weekdays. For example if a deaf person want to go to a car mechanic or a bank He won’t be able to tell his problems because there is no way to create a communication. But if this person wear a translator gloves, It’s much easier to create this communication, because the hearing person can understand the deaf person.
