Talking gloves

Those who are incapable of speaking can now communicate thanks to a talking glove, an invention of a group of engineers graduated from the University of Sheffield (UK), according to the Telegraph.

Bill Broad, 73, who lives in Sheffield, lost his ability to speak after a stroke in 2010, being the first to test a talking glove.

This device was invented by the engineer group Vinoth Gurasamy, Kalhana Colombage and Hossein Mohanna at the competition held at Sheffield University.

When wearing this glove, the built-in sensor detects the movements of the wearer's hand, then converts them into words or phrases and synthesizes them into pre-programmed voices.

The leather glove that looks like a normal glove can be programmed more than 1,000 words.

Notably, this device is very handy because there is no need to connect to the computer, so users of gloves can use it anywhere.

The invention team registered a patent for the product and hopes to further improve it to enable mass production to be more convenient for people with disabilities to communicate.
