The use of mobile phones has brought huge changes to peoples lives. However, for deaf-blind people, they seem to have no way to enjoy the benefits of mobile phones. This communication glove is specially designed to assist deaf-blind people in using mobile phones. It can realize speech-to-text or text-to-speech conversion. The gloves have built-in pressure sensors, and users can use gestures to output letter-forming information. The information is transmitted to the mobile phone via Bluetooth and ultimately sent to the recipient as a text message. Conversely, when a message is received, the system uses a similar method to transmit the message to the glove, which converts it into perceivable gesture letters. This communication glove promotes effective communication between disabled people and ordinary people, bringing good news to disabled people.
