Non-verbal communication through hand gestures is common among global speech- impaired individuals. Yet, the challenge lies in effectively understanding and translating these gestures. This is particularly crucial in eldercare and the medical sector, where communication obstacles are significant. India's substantial speech-impaired population faces added complexities due to the intricacies of sign language. A solution is vital to enable seamless conversations and bridge the communication gap. Sign language, vital for the hearingimpaired, becomes a barrier in interactions with the uninitiated. Technology intervenes by converting sign language gestures into audible speech, benefiting the speech-impaired and holding potential in eldercare and medical contexts. In this paper explores a revolutionary sign language-to-speech conversion system. It investigates components such as Arduino Uno, NodeMCU, flex sensors, DFmini player, speaker, and zero PCB. This fusion detects intricate hand gestures via flex sensors, processes data with Arduino Uno, and generates speech through the DFmini player and speaker setup. Combining innovation and empathy, this solution aims to empower the speechimpaired while enhancing interactions for the elderly and medical professionals. Future enhancements could involve incorporating machine learning techniques to improve gesture recognition accuracy, allowing the system to adapt to individual variations. Integration with mobile apps could provide real-time translation and customized settings. Collaboration with linguists and medical experts would refine the system's applicability and ensure cultural sensitivity. Additionally, exploring wearable form factors for the technology could enhance portability and ease of use, making it more accessible in various situations.
