Abstract

This project aims to bridge the communication gap between regular individuals and the differently abled by utilizing the Mediapipe framework and RNN models like LSTM and GRU. The integration of Mediapipe, a real-time hand-tracking library, with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) enhances the accuracy and efficiency of sign language recognition. The system processes recorded video samples, extracts key hand and facial landmarks using Mediapipe, and applies RNN-based models for classification. The study found that GRU models outperform LSTM models in sign language recognition accuracy, achieving between 96%-99% compared to LSTM’s 90%-94% accuracy.
