Abstract |
Effective communication is essential in our daily lives. However, for over 5% of the world’s population, or the estimated 450 million human population who have hearing difficulties according to the World Health Organization (WHO), sign language is the primary means of communication. While American Sign Language (ASL) is widely used by the Deaf community worldwide, not everyone is proficient in it, resulting in a language barrier that can lead to exclusion, misunderstanding, and isolation. This project aims to address this challenge by providing a tool that can translate ASL into text and subsequently to voice in real-time. This has the potential to transform the way people communicate with Deaf individuals, making communication easier, efficient, and more effective. |
