-## Gesture-Based Math Solver (OpenCV + MediaPipe)
+# Gesture-Based Math Solver (OpenCV + MediaPipe)
 
 This project is a **real-time hand gesture-based calculator** that lets you build and evaluate basic math expressions using only hand gestures in front of a webcam.
 
 ---
 
 ## Features
 
-- Real-time gesture detection using webcam
-- Supports multi-digit input (e.g., showing 2 → 4 → 7 becomes "247")
+- Real-time gesture detection using a webcam
+- Supports multi-digit input (e.g., 2 → 4 → 7 becomes `247`)
 - Gesture-controlled arithmetic operations (`+`, `-`, `*`, `/`)
 - Built-in evaluation and result display
-- Hands-free **Clear**, **DELETE** and **Exit** commands
-- Works using a standard webcam (no special hardware needed)
+- Hands-free **Clear**, **Delete**, and **Exit** gestures

 Notes:
 
-- Gestures are based on MediaPipe hand landmarks and finger state detection.
+- Gestures are based on MediaPipe landmarks and simple finger-state rules.
 - The app uses a debounce delay (currently ~1.25s) to avoid repeated inputs; adjust `delay` in `mathSolver.py` if needed.
