Gesture-to-Voice

Empowering speech-impaired individuals through real-time hand gesture recognition and AI-powered voice synthesis

About the Project

The Communication Challenge

Speech-impaired individuals face significant barriers in daily communication. Traditional methods like sign language are not universally understood, and typing is slow and cumbersome.

Our Solution: A real-time gesture recognition system that converts hand gestures into clear, natural speech using cutting-edge computer vision and AI.

No gesture detected

Try These Gestures:

  • 👋 Wave = "Hello"
  • 👍 Thumbs Up = "Yes/Good"
  • 👎 Thumbs Down = "No"
  • ✋ Palm = "Stop/Wait"
