Text To Sign Langauge
Text To Sign Langauge
• The foundation of this project is the text-to-sign language conversion, which can be done
by using Python modules, to transform text input to respective sign language signals.
The text is broken down into manageable chunks using machine learning. In order for
the program to show the converted text into the sign language, predetermined data sets
of Indian sign language are utilized as the input.

Objectives
• Usually deaf people seek the help of sign language interpreters for translating their
thoughts to normal people and vice versa. But this system is very costly and does
not work throughout the life period of a deaf person. So a system that
automatically recognizes sign language gestures is necessary. Such a system can
minimize the gap between deaf people and normal people in society.
• Moreover, hearing people have difficulties in learning sign language and likewise
the majority of those people who were born deaf or who became deaf early in life,
have only a limited vocabulary of the accordant spoken language of the community
in which they live. Hence a system of translating sign language to spoken language
would be of great help for deaf as well as for hearing people. A second aspect is
that sign language recognition serves as a good basis for the development of
gestural human-machine interfaces.
