In this paper, Hand-Gesture Recognition System helps the dumb people finding difficult in communicating with the society. These people give some gestures to communicate with the normal people but all the gestures given by the dumb cannot be understood. So,there is a necessary to have some media between the dumb and normal people. The system recognizes the gestures given by the dumb and display the message on the LCD according to the gesture. The glove with flex sensors is worn to the hand of the dumb and when the gesture is given it is sensed by the flex sensor then the system recognize the gesture. Paraplegics are the persons whose body parts below the belly will not work and find difficulty in using the appliances. The system also consists of accelerometer control the fan and light. The appliances can be controlled by tilting the accelerometer. An alert message with the help of a GSM can be sent to the concerned person of the paraplegic when the paraplegic is in trouble.
