The main aim of this project is to design and construct a system with which gestures are given through Flex sensors which are converted to gestured to speech. It is very use full for deaf and dumb people to express their needs by using simple hand gesture using Flex sensors.   This flex sensor is a unique component that changes resistance in proportion to the degree it is bent.  The sensor when lying flat has a nominal resistance. As the flex sensor is bent the resistance increases in proportion. This device is very helpful for paralysis and physically challenged persons.   The whole system is controlled by Arduino Nano. Five Flex sensors, LCD and Buzzer module is interfaced to Arduino Nano. All these components are placed on the glove which is operated with 9VDC battery power. User wear this glove to his/her hand. By using simple hand gesture, user will express their needs like water, food…The Arduino Nano will send these commands to displays the text on LCD display.      

The main objectives of the project are: 

1. Simple gestures movement-based text conversion.
2. Gesture movement using Flex technology.
3. Audible alert using Buzzer.

    The major building blocks of this project are:  

• 9V Battery power supply.
• Arduino NANO.
• Five Flex sensors.
• LCD display.
• Buzzer.

    Software’s used:  

• Arduino IDE compiler for Embedded C programming.
• Express SCH for Circuit design.
