Abstract: One of the nonverbal communication methods utilized in sign language is the hand sign. It is mostly used by deaf and dumb people to communicate with other people or among themselves having difficulty in speaking or hearing. Many people throughout the world have created numerous sign language project which consists of alphabets and numbers, but the end users find them neither versatile nor cost-effective. This project shows a conceptual framework capable of automatically recognizing sign language in order to assist deaf and dumb individuals in communicating more efficiently with everyone. The people in society frequently overlook or reject those who are considered to be stupid or illiterate. Additionally, it is exceedingly challenging for regular people to understand and converse with them. Typically, these folks rely on some other person or a translator in order to communicate with the society. A translator or a person won?t be available every time to communicate. The community of the deaf and dumb uses sign language exclusively as a means of communication.
