When it comes to living in a modern world with lots of technology around you the physically-disabled people face a lot of problems while communicating with the world and using this available technology. This paper explores the current research effort towards building user friendly application that connects two normal people, deaf and dumb, blind and deaf people together. Nowadays there are many applications available when it comes to hearing and visually impaired but every application has a certain limit till now. The work includes three approaches viz. a voice, text and video based input-output interaction. When it comes to deaf and dumb communication, the model to learn sign language was implemented and there was conversion of Indian Sign Language into the text. When it comes to communication between the deaf-blind users, Morse code the language of dash, spaces and dots has always been an effective communication tool. Also in some of the processes, there is use of image to text and text to speech conversion. All the work focuses on how these techniques were developed and available to implement and their effectiveness at the same time. It also provides different ways for the visually and hearing impaired to communicate by converting the texts as voice signals and morse code signals. This paper also proposes and explores another method that can be implemented for a full-fledged interaction between visually and hearing impaired without any limitations and the work depends on Morse code, translations such as Morse code to text, speech and vice-versa.
