This book presents the subtleties of a most remarkable human attribute: The ability to understand and communicate language. The focus of the book does examine the basic elements of interpreting and translating for the deaf. However, it takes the reader far beyond the linguistic challenges of American Sign Language (ASL) into the realm of interpreting for world cultures. The book presupposes a well-developed understanding of ASL and readers are expected to already be convinced that ASL is a real language. Deaf and hearing individuals will unquestionably profit from the analyses of culture that are always present in the medical, business, educational, and interpersonal situations in which deaf interpreters are active.

The world’s population now stands at 7.6 billion. Out of these, millions of people are not blessed with the ability to hear or/and speak. Although speech becomes a barrier between these people and other abled persons but, there are three types of sign languages which help to decrease this gap. There are about 250 types of sign language interpreters which translate their language for other people. This paper describes a similar type of device aimed to facilitate a bridge between the two groups of population. It develops a wearable device having motion detecting sensors to sense the orientation and direction of fingers in order to recognize the gesture made by the user. Also, it transmits the gesture to a wireless display unit through a Bluetooth module which displays the corresponding word to the gesture made on an LCD. Thus, in this way, sign-to-text conversion is carried out. The heart of the device is Atmega328 with flash memory of 32k bytes enabling us to store a wide range of words. The designed system was capable to recognize the pre-stored gestures according to ASL (American Sign Language). Prototype was designed for one hand and it was tested on a few gestures.
