Two Way Communication between Deaf and Dumb

This paper aims to introduce a mobile application concept for facilitating communication between deaf& dumb and normal people. We propose a system which translates Indian Sign Language into equivalent text and also converts input text into equivalent ISL gestures. For the former, we use a SVM classifier to get the required output. While the latter can be done by image processing and/or animation techniques. With this application we hope to reduce the communication gap between deaf& dumb and normal people by eliminating the need of a human translator.
