Abstract
• This presentation explores a system for
detecting and interpreting sign language using
machine learning and computer vision
technologies. It aims to bridge communication
gaps and make interactions more inclusive for
hearing-impaired individuals.
Introduction
• Sign Language Detection Systems translate
sign gestures into text or speech using
advanced computational techniques. This
system can assist in real-time communication
and improve accessibility for the deaf and
hard of hearing.
