Abstract

Speech impairment affects an individual’s ability to communicate. People affected by this problem, suffer by the communication barrier with the normal people. Hence, to express their emotions and thoughts people will use sign language for their communication and. Although sign language is common in world, there may be a difficulty for people who do not have knowledge about sign language to communicate with speech impaired people who knows the sign language. Now there is a prominent growth in the field of computer vision and deep learning, which has been tremendous development in the fields of sign and motion recognition. The proposed model focusses on overcoming the challenges in verbal communication between non-sign language speakers and sign language speakers by building a deep learning model to recognize alphabets of American sign language.   The model was trained on the dataset collected from Kaggle website which consisted of 26 American Sign Language alphabets. The model achieved 99.3% mean average precision in recognition of sign and average probability value for test image achieved was 0.99. The deep learning method used to build the model achieved more accuracy than the previous solutions.
