One of the complicated issues of computer vision is the recognition of any sign languages. The deaf and the dumb people use these sign languages to communicate. In the area of deep learning at recent progress there are numerous applications that neural networks can have for interpreting sign languages. The recognition of American Sign Language static images employing a capable artificial intelligence tool, Convolutional Neural Network has been proposed in this paper. ASL dataset of 1815 images of 26 English alphabets has been used to train and validate our model. Validation accuracy has been found 94.34% which is better than many existing methods.
