Concept
- A large population of people utilize American Sign Language for their primary method of communication.
- No commercially available product is available for these people for when they need to communicate with speakers of a foreign language.
- We must investigate methods to make communication between these two parties easier and more accessible.
- By using a neural network to classify images of American Sign Language letters, we can build a service to make translation of American Sign Language into foreign languages possible.
