A novel system aimed at bridging the communication gap between deaf and blind individuals and those who are not familiar with sign language or Braille is proposed. Google’s Speech Recognition library is used to convert speech to text and the pyttsx3 library is used to convert text to speech. The system is designed to interconvert between Indian sign language, Braille, and English text, creating a unified platform for individuals with different disabilities to communicate effectively. The sign language recognition component of the system was trained with a training accuracy of 97.73 percent and test accuracy of 98 percent. The Braille recognition component was trained with a training accuracy of 97 percent and test accuracy of 95.5 percent. The integration of sign language and Braille into one platform is a unique feature that sets this system apart from existing solutions.
