Sign language is used by individuals with hearing difficulties to communicate with outside world. This language is made up of expressions, emotions and hand gestures made up of different type of signals. Hand movement along with the emotion together makeup the message to be communicated. Though this works perfectly, it takes time to learn this language. Even after learning this person with hearing and speaking difficulties cannot communicate with a larger audience as the other party might not understand this language. There are multiple varieties of sign language available as per the local region like ASL – American Sign Language, ISL – Indian Sign Language, GSL denoting German sign language. All these languages are specifically customised to the local geography to improve the effectiveness of communication. However the key focus is to make speech impaired individuals to communicate with common man. Our solution is to create a middleware that can detect and convert sign language to a audio output heard through a android hand held. This can also be useful to monitor the health of the individuals in a centralised environment.
