Communications between deaf-mute and a normal person have always been a challenging task. This paper describes a way to reduce barrier of communication by developing an assistive device for deaf-mute persons. The advancement in embedded systems, provides a space to design and develop a sign language translator system to assist the dumb people, there exist a number of assistant tools. The main objective is to develop a real time embedded device for physically challenged to aid their communication in effective means. The proposed work in this paper is to implement a system without handheld gloves and sensors and by text to voice converter speck jet IC and voice to text conversion and vice versa, thus making the communication simpler for deaf and dumb people by a handheld embedded device along with the hardware setup.
