Introduction
Sign language to speech converter is a device
that translates sign language into spoken
language.
This technology aims to bridge the
communication gap between individuals who
are deaf or hard of hearing and those who can
hear.
The converter uses sensors to capture hand
movements and gestures, which are then
translated into audible speech.

BATTERY SYSTEM
HC-05 BLUETOOTH
The HC-05 is a class 2 Bluetooth module
designed for transparent wireless serial
communication. It is pre-configured as a
slave Bluetooth device. Once it is paired to a
master Bluetooth device such as PC, smart
phones and tablet, its operation becomes
transparent to the user.
FLEX SENSOR WITH ARDUINO
*Connect the flex sensor and a fixed
resistor in series to form a voltage divider
circuit. Connect the output of the voltage
divider circuit to one of the Arduino's
analog input pins.
* Power runs from the 5v to the ground,
and data runs from the sensor through the
output pin and into the Arduino.
