Abstract: ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a smart sign language to text and voice conversion system (100) comprising a wearable glove assembly (102) having finger sensing elements (104) and a motion sensing element (106) configured to detect finger bending and hand movement. Sensor information is acquired through a signal acquisition unit (108) and processed by a processing controller (114) executing a gesture recognition module (116). A gesture database (118) stores predefined gestures and corresponding textual expressions. Upon recognition of a gesture, a text generation unit (124) determines a corresponding textual expression and supplies the textual expression to a text-to-speech module (126). The text-to-speech module (126) generates an audio signal that is reproduced through an audio output unit (128). The system is configured for local operation without requiring continuous internet connectivity and provides a portable assistive communication solution. The wearable configuration enables conversion of predefined sign language gestures into audible speech, thereby facilitating communication between sign language users and persons unfamiliar with sign language. The figure associated with abstract is Fig. 1.
