An efficient American Sign Language (ASL) translator system has been developed to support individuals with
communication disabilities, such as those who are Deaf and Mute (D&M). This system relies on OpenCV and advanced computer vision techniques, along with neural networks, to facilitate real-time interpretation of ASL gestures into both text and speech, thereby enhancing social integration and understanding. The system employs a dual-layer approach, incorporating a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) designed for precise gesture recognition. In-depth research into ASL gestures, combined with sophisticated deep learning strategies, significantly boosts the accuracy of gesture detection. Using OpenCV, custom datasets have been created and utilized to train the CNN, which features layers with ReLU activation, max pooling, dropout layers, and employs the Adam optimizer. Key innovative aspects of this system include the ability to generate sentences from finger-spelling and an automatic correction mechanism that uses text inputs to refine outputs. This enhances the system’s functionality and user experience. This project demonstrates a commitment to overcoming communication barriers for the deaf community, marking a significant advancement in sign language
interpretation technology, and promoting inclusivity in society.
