🤟 Team Saksh – AI-Powered Multimodal Communication Platform

on

Communication should never be a barrier. Team Saksh is an AI-powered multimodal communication platform designed to bridge the communication gap between Deaf, Mute, Blind, and Hearing communities. The project combines Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Speech Processing, and Real-Time Communication technologies to create an inclusive environment where people with different communication abilities can interact naturally.

🎯 Project Vision

Millions of people worldwide rely on sign language or assistive technologies for communication. However, conversations between people with different abilities often require interpreters, creating dependency and limiting accessibility. Team Saksh eliminates this barrier by enabling seamless two-way communication using AI-driven translation, gesture recognition, speech processing, and accessible chat features.

✨ Key Features

  • 🤟 Real-time Sign Language Recognition using AI
  • 🎤 Speech-to-Sign Language Translation
  • 🗣️ Sign-to-Text and Sign-to-Speech Conversion
  • 💬 Real-time multilingual chat system
  • 📹 Live camera-based gesture detection
  • 🔊 Voice input and speech recognition
  • 🌐 Accessible communication for multiple user groups
  • 📱 Responsive web interface with modern UI

🛠 Technology Stack

  • Frontend: React.js, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript
  • Backend: Firebase & REST APIs
  • AI & ML: MediaPipe, CNN, LSTM, Whisper API
  • Animation: Unity-based 3D Sign Avatar
  • Database: Firebase Realtime Database

⚙️ How It Works

  1. User opens the communication platform.
  2. Camera captures sign language gestures in real time.
  3. AI recognizes the gestures using MediaPipe and deep learning models.
  4. Recognized signs are converted into readable text or spoken audio.
  5. Speech from another user can be translated into animated sign language using a 3D avatar.
  6. Users can also communicate through multilingual real-time chat.
