Deaf people are facing real communication problems with everyone they interact with, and the available key solution is to use the sign language. It is nonverbal form of language, thatuses hand gestures to convey thoughts by applying particular movements of hand with a specificshape is made out of them, even though these hand gestures are powerful tool of communication among normal people and deaf community but still it has its own set of problems, like it has to be fully mastered by the both communication parties. This paper is proposing a simple and low cost verbal communication device for the deaf people, which enables them to use their mouth only. The findings showed that, this novel technique can be considered as very efficient replacement for the ordinary hand gesture by converting the lips pattern it into a hearable speech allowing the deaf to communicate as easy as normal people do.
