Abstract

This study utilizes a live sign language interpreter to facilitate communication between deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals and those who don't know sign language. Using a webcam, the device can see hand movements and then put them into text or voice that people can understand. It does this with the help of cutting-edge computer vision and machine learning techniques. OpenCV for real-time video processing, Media Pipe for precise hand landmark identification, and TensorFlow for sign classification all help the program understand signals at the letter and word level. You can write in more than one language with Google Translate, and pyttsx3 enables you to turn text into speech. These are two more parts. Both of these factors let people get to objects and talk to one another more easily. This strategy has a lot of promise for making technology easier for everyone to use since it makes sure that everyone can talk to one another equally in education, therapy, and everyday life.
