SIGN SCHOOL-An interactive website to promote Indian Sign Language

Hand gestures are one of the nonverbal communication modalities used in sign language. It is most typically used by deaf and dumb persons who have hearing or speech issues to communicate with each other or with non-deaf people.Dumb people are frequently denied regular communication with other members of society, and normal people often struggle to understand and communicate with them. These individuals must rely on an interpreter or some form of visual communication to communicate. It is unlikely that an interpreter will be available at all times, and visual communication is often difficult to comprehend. In this paper, we are proposing a solution by which people can learn and practice the Indian sign language easily. We are proposing a YOLOv5 model which is lightweight, fast and is more accurate than other technologies used. We have achieved around 99.8 percent accuracy which is high enough to detect several gestures in the Indian sign Language. This paper also proposes a creation of an interactive website which will allow the users to easily navigate them through their journey to learn the Indian Sign Language.
