Language barrier is the most common reason for communication gap. In India, language changes after few miles with respect to education & culture of that territory. This is the condition with spoken language & if we talk about visual languages then condition becomes worst. Here we are talking about the visual language which is used by speech & hearing impaired community i.e. Deaf & Dumb. Basically Sign language is the standard language used for communication by this community. But, because of lack of standardization & education of Sign language, Deaf & Dumb can use multimodal interfaces for communication such as image, video, Leap reading, air writing, finger spelling & body gestures etc. Everyone is unable to learn sign language efficiently thus multimodal interface can serve the purpose of communication. In this paper we are introducing different modes of communication for Deaf & Dumb with the comparison of existing Sign language recognition systems & available sign language dictionaries.
