SAMVAAD (Sign and Multimodal Voice Assistive Access & Dialogue) is an AI-powered accessibility platform developed to bridgecommunication gaps between individuals with hearing, speech, and visual impairments and the general public. Existingassistive systems generally focus on only one form of disability and fail to provide integrated communication support.SAMVAAD addresses this limitation by combining Sign Language recognition, Speech-to-Text (STT), Text-toSpeech(TTS), Braille translation, and 3D avatar-based sign visualization into a unified web-based platform. The system uses Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, and Natural Language Processing technologies such as OpenCV, MediaPipe, and Flaskto enable real-time multimodal communication. The proposed framework provides users with text, speech, sign, and Braille interaction modes while maintaining a lightweight and locally deployable architecture. The platform also includesan educational module for learning Sign Language and Braille, thereby promoting accessibility awareness and inclusiveinteraction. SAMVAAD demonstrates how AI can be ethically utilized for social good by improving communication accessibility and empowering differently-abled individuals.
