Sign Language Conversion using Hand Gesture Recognition

Communication is difficult for speech and hearing impaired when interacting with others. Such people struggle to communicate their ideas because not everyone can understand sign language. Gesture recognition is a perceptual computing user interface that enables computers to record and interpret human motions and execute commands based on those movements. Gesture recognition can be seen of as a method for computers to start comprehending body language, creating a more complex connection between machines and people than simple text user interfaces. To facilitate easier communication between the two, we provide experiments of gesture recognition and text translation in this study.
