HAND GESTURE RECOGNITION AND VOICE CONVERSION FOR

DEAF AND DUMB

ABSTRACT:
Sign language plays a major role for dumb people to communicate with normal
people. It is very difficult for mute people to convey their message to normal people. Since
normal people are not trained on hand sign language. In emergency time conveying their
message is very difficult. So the solution for this problem is to convert the sign language into
human hearing voice. There are two major techniques available to detect hand motion or
gesture such as vision and non-vision technique and convert the detected information into
voice. In vision-based technique camera will be used for gesture detection. In this project
non-vision-based technique will be used. Most of the dumb people are deaf also. So, the
normal people’s voice can be converted into their sign language.

EXISTING SYSYEM:
In existing project a machine learning model which can
predict hand gesture from webcam and then convert recognize gesture into voice so normal
peoples can understand what Deaf and Dumb peoples are saying. In this project we used
SVM algorithm but in python SVM is not accurate in identifying hand gesture.

DISADVANTAGES:
 Accuracy is Low.

PROPSED SYSTEM:
In this proposed system the dump people hand motion or gesture can be detected and
then it will be converted into human hearing voice signal. We are using deep learning
Convolution Neural Network to train hand gesture images and then this trained model can be
used to predict those trained hand gesture from webcam.

ADVANTAGES:
 Accuracy is Very high.
 The project will be beneficial to both dumb and as well as normal people in this
electronic world.
