According to the World Health Organization (WHO) over 5% of the world's population have impaired hearing and speaking loss. It is very difficult for people with disabilities to communicate. This paper proposes a system to overcome these barriers and allow everyone to interact with each other irrespective of their disabilities and facilitate everyone to communicate with each other through messaging and video calling irrespective of their disabilities. This paper proposes a vision based application which can be used for the communication of such people using text and video calling. For better accuracy various object detection and image classification algorithms are implemented. The application uses Indian Sign Language as the dataset.
