This paper is aimed at developing an Indian Sign Language recognition system through OpenPose (2019). The main objective of the System is to recognize commonly used ISL hand gestures. Humans require language to communicate with each other and the languages that we use is speech based. But the people who are hearing impaired or mute, cannot use such languages. Hence, they are dependent on Sign language for their communication for expressing their feelings. Like other languages, sign language is also considered as a Natural Language. This paper presents an idea to facilitate communication between the hearing disabled or mute people and the people who are not well versed with the sign language. The existing systems use some specialized hardware sensors, glove, or IR Based optical markers. These hardware devices are at the moment expensive and unmanageable. Now-a-days, everyone has handheld devices like Mobile phones, Tablets, Laptops, etc., and these devices have become the communicational medium between people. Hence a system that can make use of these devices to recognise the signs is more convenient than having a specialised hardware around. The idea which was based on Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) for conveying the messages and software based approach for receiving messages using Microsoft Kinect SYSTEM USING OPENPOSE By
