Abstract : The ability to hear helps us to connect with the world. But it doesn‟t mean that deaf people live in a world of silence. At times, deaf or hearing-impaired people may find it difficult to join in conversations and express their feelings and thoughts. Hence, we have come up with a device that translates voice signals into text. Though different technologies were developed, they have always provided inconsistent results. We aim to develop a portable, cost-effective, no-internet-required device that converts speech to text with better accuracy and consistency. The device consists of a microphone, a voice-to-text converter, and a screen to display the converted text. Input is taken by a microphone as electric signals. The audio is translated into English. This audio is saved into the database after recording. The audio signals are translated to text and it gets displayed on the screen. Now people can join in conversations stress-free and never feel ignored. Our project aims to break barriers in communication often experienced by hearing-impaired people and make them feel included in a community.
