Popis: In this paper, we describe an embedded system which aims at translation of sign language to synthesized text and voice. This system consists of a glove that can be worn by a deaf/dumb person to facilitate the communication in real-time with other people. The system translates the hand gestures to corresponding letters using seven flex sensors, five contact sensors and a 3-axis accelerometer. The gathered data from each finger's position and hand's motion is used to differentiate between the letters. The signals are converted to digital data using comparator circuits and ADC of microcontroller which are then compared with a lookup table to get the signed letter. Using Bluetooth module, the translation is transmitted to the PC, which displays as well as pronounces the letter .On the computer there is a java-based game, which tests the user's ability to sign, which can be used for sign language education. This system will simplify the communication of dumb people with people capable of normal communications without the need of a human translator.
