Mandeep Kaur · INTERANTIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT · 2025
Abstract IndiSign Universe of Hand Gesture and Meaning Interpreter is a machine learning-based assistive communication system that seeks to bridge the communicative gap between People who talk or listen with speech or hearing disabilities. Unlike traditional pre-configured gesture-based sign language interpreters, IndiSign allows users to create and train a customized sign vocabulary. Personalized gestures are detected by real-time computer vision and machine learning, and are immediately translated to text or synthesized speech. The web-based system uses standard webcams with light models like a K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) classifier, thus enhancing accessibility without requiring specialized hardware by offering a scalable, user-focused, and inclusive platform for communication, IndiSign acts as an instant communicator—enabling a more natural, expressive, and unencumbered interactions in everyday life.
