Gloves turn speech language into words

Magic glove read "sign language" can become a bridge to help people with disabilities communicate more easily with the community.

Sign language is a great tool, but few people can use this kind of language. This makes it difficult for people with sign language to communicate with others.

Navid Azodi and Thomas Pryor, two students at the University of Washington, USA, designed gloves that could convert verbal cues into words. This device is called "Sign Aloud". It was a pair of gloves that contained a sensor that records the position and movement of the hands, according to Tech Radar.

Then, this information is transferred to a central computer via Bluetooth. The central computer will check for gesture overlap in the American Sign Language System. If the gesture is meaningful, it will be translated into speech and played through the speaker.

Although this is not the first sign language converter, it is one of the most optimized and easy-to-use devices. It can easily become a part of human life like hearing aids and contact lenses.

With this device, Azodi and Pryor have won the Lemelson-MIT award for students worth $ 10,000. Currently, the device can only be converted to the US sign language system. However, in the future, it is possible to apply to many other language gestures.
