For many disabled people who are dumb or deaf sign language is a way of communication, to do communication both people need to know sign language or need a translator between them, but everywhere they are not getting a translator. This project is a prototype that will work as a translator for them so that they can communicate with anyone irrespective of knowledge of sign language. With the help of gestures, we can perform many actions like human-computer interaction, gesture-controlled home appliances, and many applications that use gestures as the trigger input. In this prototype, an image is obtained using a webcam. OpenCV helps in detecting gestures from images. And on a later stage gesture is converted to text. OpenCV is a python package tool that provides support with image processing techniques.
