A sign language detector made with TensorFlow, Keras and OpenCV
The problem Sign Language Detector solves
Solved UN SDG: Reduced Inequalities (UN SDG #10):
Reduces inequalities among those who have hearing disabilities and those who do not by giving a medium of translation of sign language
Need of a medium of sign language was extremely important due to the very high prices of hearing aids.
Hearing aids are also not available in all developing and underdeveloped countries so sign language is the only way for the deaf to communicate.
Challenges I ran into
Ran into problems when creating Keras models and improving accuracy of the detection
