In this normal community where we live and communicate with each other, some find it really difficult to communicate because of their hearing deficiency. The only way to communicate with deaf or dumb people is through sign language. Dumb or deaf people all over in the globe mostly use sign language to communicate with each other but this can be understood properly to those who have undergone special training like them in sign language. The current society really finds it difficult to communicate with deaf or dumb people. This normal community has a limited fluency in sign language and because of this a communication barrier persists between the normal and the hearing- impaired people. This Barrier is diminishing as projects of the past two decades have unfolded. These not only help in interpreting the signs but also ease the communication between deaf or and general communities. In today’s world it has become difficult for the general communities to communicate with the hearing impaired individuals. There are very less medium for communicating with them. Through the use of artificial intelligence, researchers are striving to develop hardware and software that will impact the way deaf or dumb individuals communicate and learn. In an attempt towards the same, a converter has been proposed in this project. This converter would act as a medium by recognizing the signed images made by the signer and then convert those into text and subsequently into speech. The signed images are classified to increase the accuracy and efficiency of the algorithm.
