This is an application in two parts to help deaf and hard of hearing people to communicate

First part: Speech to Text

This part of the application listen the speaker and transcribe words to let the deaf people read what the other said

Second part: Gesture to Speech

This part of the application uses the camera to see the gestures of the deaf people, interpret it and speech for him (or she)

If you want to add gestures:

Type k on your keyboard to enter keypoint mode to train your model Do your hand gesture and press the corresponding index of this gesture from 0 to 9 and a to e This will store your keypoints in the "/keypoint.csv" file Go to "/keypoint_classifier_label.csv" file to give each sign a name Run the "keyoint_classification.ipynb" to train the model so that you will be able to use it.

Same process with point history to add moving gestures.
