In this paper, we have made use of the implemented concepts of basic gesture recognition system and further we propose a new attachment to this concept i.e. - to convert these gestures to text and speech. Here we are comparing hand gestures with the specified vocabulary of predefined gestures to recognize the gesture. The paper covers all the necessary idea and algorithms which help in converting gestures to text and Speech. The main aim of this paper is to study and understand the different Algorithms and tools used in the entire paper, i.e.- it includes some implemented algorithms for gesture recognition as a revision and also the use of proposed algorithms for converting the gestures to text and speech which are implemented with help of many API of different programming languages can be used. Keywords- CAMshift algorithm,Background Substraction algorithm, Gesture Detection, Text To Speech Conversion I. INTRODUCTION Human hand gestures provide the important and effective means of non-verbal communication with the human and computer. Hand Gestures are meaningful expressive body motions that are movements of hands, fingers arms. Hand gestures ranges from simple identical gestures or static gestures that are used to convert these gestures to voice or text. Gesture recognition is a process of recognizing the gestures made by the user by any computer or machine. This also gives a human computer interaction. This kind of technique provides in natural way to interact with the machine in a natural way. The working of the paper is as follows: The essential aim of building hand gesture recognition system is to create a natural interaction between human and computer where the recognized gestures can be used for controlling a robot or conveying meaningful information [2]. How to form the resulted hand gestures to be understood and well interpreted by the computer considered as the problem of gesture interaction [2]. Recognition of human gestures is an active area of research integral for the development of intuitive human–machine interfaces for ubiquitous Kajal B.
