Deaf and dumb persons are facing great challenges communicating with people in society despite the fact that they are part of the society and are enrolled in the normal school system where teaching and learning take place using spoken language. This challenge calls for the need to address the problem of communication through the use of mobile technology. Developing a mobile app to enhance learning and communication is of great importance and thus the focus of this paper. Obviously most of the applications available were developed using foreign languages which is not easy to use. In this paper, we introduce the Simple Sign Language Translator Application that will help people to learn and master sign language. So this project deals with an application which will translate some common sign language gesture through image processing by detecting the hand gestures via mobile camera and convert into a text message format and send it through the social media site so the person with no knowledge of sign language gestures can also understand it and communicate with the opposite person. The proposed system will fully be based on the software and try to reduce the hardware burdens of the existing one. It will help to reduce the language barrier from the deaf and dumb community.
