Abstract: Individuals with hearing and speech disabilities often encounter challenges when communicating with people who are unfamiliar with sign language. To address this issue, this project presents a real-time Sign Language to Speech Conversion System that translates hand gestures into spoken words using computer vision and deep learning techniques. The proposed system utilizes a Raspberry Pi connected to a camera for capturing live hand gesture images. These images are analyzed using OpenCV for image processing and MediaPipe for efficient hand landmark detection and tracking. Before recognition, the captured frames undergo several preprocessing operations, including image scaling, normalization, and background refinement, to improve the quality of the input data. The extracted hand features are then provided to a Convolution Neural Network (CNN), which has been trained to identify various sign language gestures. Once a gesture is recognized, the corresponding text representation is generated and converted into speech using a text-to-speech engine. The generated audio is played through an attached speaker, enabling seamless communication between sign language users and non-sign language users. The system is capable of operating in real time and supports the recognition of frequently used gestures with reliable accuracy. By combining embedded computing, computer vision, and machine learning, the proposed solution offers a compact, cost-effective, and user-friendly assistive technology. The developed framework demonstrates the potential of intelligent human-computer interaction systems to improve accessibility, promote social inclusion, and support independent communication for individuals with hearing and speech impairments in everyday environments.
