Abstract:-
Advancements in Biomedical field provide lot of assistive devices to help deaf people and
visually impaired people. When it comes to the subject of deaf-blind people (who losses both
hearing and visual ability) availability of such devices are very limited. Tactile signaling and
manual alphabets are the most commonly methods used to make the reciprocal
communication between the impaired and the surrounding environment possible. Existing
devices like MyVox, Sparsha are use braille tactile reading/writing to make communication
between two deaf blind users. Assistive systems available in market are high cost and invasive.
The proposed system is wearable, non-invasive, compact and low cost. It can recognize the
speech and convert into Morse code vibrations. Raspberry Pi is used to convert speech into text
using microphone and then each text changed to Morse code using raspberry pi. These signals
will be sending to micro haptic vibrating motors through GPIO pins of raspberry pi which are
attached with user’s fingers.
I. Introduction
From the statistics of the World Federation of the Deaf and blind, approximately 70 million
people in the world are deaf– mute. A population of 360 million people are deaf, and 32 million
of these are children. The majority of speech- and hearing-impaired people cannot read or write
in regular languages. Sign language is the native language used by the deaf and blind to
communicate with others. Sign language relies primarily on gestures rather than voice , and it
combines the use of finger shapes, hand movements, and facial expressions. This language has
the following main defects includes a lot of hand movements and limited vocabulary. Moreover,
it is unfamiliar to those who are not deaf and blind and disabled people face serious difficulties
in communicating with able individuals. This communication barrier adversely affect the lives
and relationships of deaf people with the society. As a result dumb people need to use a
translator device to communicate with individuals.
