AIDING SYSTEM FOR DEAF AND DUMB PERSONS BASED ON SPEECH AND IMAGE PROCESSING ALGORITHM

Abstract

Communication plays an important role in our everyday life. Simply communication means exchanging
ideas meaningfully. The capability of hearing and speaking has a major role in day to day human-human interaction.
So hearing and speech impaired peoples find its difficulty for communicating with others. The only way for those
peoples is sign language. But sign languages are only effective means of communication among disabled persons. Sign
language medium is not an effective mode of communication for the disabled persons with normal one. This proposed
system enhances the quality of communication of disabled persons. System consists of a two way communication. It
aims at providing an interface between the voice and the visual sign language and vice versa. This is achieved using
Natural Voice processing and Digital Image Processing algorithms. This system that enables impaired people to
further connect with their society and aids them in overcoming communication obstacles created by the society's
incapability of understanding and expressing sign language.
