## 🎯 Using the Application
### 1. Quick Demo
To try the system with a pre-trained model:
```bash
streamlit run app.py
```
This will launch the web interface where you can:
- Adjust confidence threshold
- Toggle hand landmark visualization
- See real-time sign language interpretation
### 2. Collect Your Own Data
To create a custom dataset:
```bash
python data_collection.py
```
Follow the on-screen instructions to:
- Choose signs to collect
- Record sequences of hand gestures
- Save data for training
### 3. Train Custom Model
To train a model on your collected data:
```bash
python train_model.py
```
This will:
- Load your collected dataset
- Train a new model
- Save the trained model
- Generate performance metrics
## 🔍 Troubleshooting
1. **Camera not working?**
- Check if another application is using the camera
- Ensure camera permissions are granted
- Try closing and reopening the application
2. **Poor recognition?**
- Ensure good lighting
- Keep hands within camera frame
- Try adjusting the confidence threshold
- Collect more training data
3. **Installation issues?**
- Check Python version: `python --version`
- Update pip: `python -m pip install --upgrade pip`
- Install requirements manually: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
## 📚 Additional Resources
- Check `README.md` for detailed documentation
- View example signs in `examples/` directory
- See training tips in `docs/training_guide.md`
