REAL-TIME SIGN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION

Individuals who are deaf or mute frequently encounter communication barriers. Nevertheless, recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has mitigated these challenges. A method employing an open-source tool known as MediaPipe, along with OpenCV and a machine learning algorithm, facilitates the recognition of sign language. This system achieves real-time sign language recognition without relying on specialized wearable devices, enhancing convenience and accessibility. In this context, machine learning plays a pivotal role in recognizing and interpreting sign language, thus facilitating communication within the deaf-mute community. Key terms include artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning, computer vision, machine learning, sign language, and recognition of sign language. Overall, these technological advancements signify a significant step towards inclusive communication for all.
