Resumo(s)
Nowadays, the need to transmit information, be it between people or be- tween devices is getting more and more important. The need of communica- tion and its inherent ease is something important in a social perspective. How- ever, when we are talking about someone’s perspective that either is hard of hearing or totally deaf, this communication is hardened in an exponential form.
Although this problem affects a minority of people, it doesn´t stop being an eminent problem that will certainly lead to discomfort, either to the person that has the hearing impairment, that may feel frustration due to not being able to express himself, either to their family and friends, that are there and may feel unable to help them with their problem.
This master's thesis arises precisely in the perspective of a possible solu- tion to this problem. The project consists in the creation of a glove, that has various built-in sensors that will measure hand position related to the space, so that when the hand moves the data can be converted to LGP (Portuguese Sign Language).
When the recognition of the letters is done the main purpose is to convert this inputs to voice, with the aid of a text-to-speech engine like Amazon Polly or Google cloud text-to-speech, so that this inputs can be heard and understood between all people.
