Abstract: The persons who have difficulties communicating with society because of hearing and speech problems face challenges that restrict their communication ability with society. While sign language is one possible solution, everyone may not comprehend it. The design and application of a low-cost wearable hand gesture vocalizer that produces both visual and aural outputs from predefined hand gestures are presented in this paper. The suggested system uses flex sensors built into a glove to record finger movements, which are then operated by an Arduino Nano microcontroller. An external audio replay module is used to translate recognized gestures into corresponding audio output and display them on a 16×2 I2C-based LCD at the same time. To improve approachability for users with hearing or vision impairments, the system places a strong emphasis on multimodal feedback, appropriate wearable design and un- complicated hardware. The prototype developed shows reliable gesture identification with minimal latency and offers a extensible platform for future improvements.
