Abstract: It becomes much more difficult for a person with speech or hearing impairment to communicate with a person who is not aware of sign language. Now, Gesture Language Translator will leverage computer vision, machine learning, and natural language processing (NLP) concepts to read a message through gestures when speaking, translate it into speech or text in real-time, and pass on the message to a person not aware of sign language. Utilizing advanced gesture recognition algorithms, the system will utilize detection and analysis of hand movement, facial expression, and posture to provide highly accurate and correct translation between different sign languages. In short, the gesture language translator is the seamless and accessible real-time communication tool for inclusion towards such groups and would bridge the deaf and hearing worlds. It can potentially revolutionize assistive communication, making digital and conventional interaction much more inclusive with the disabled than it is today. There exist communication barriers between hearing individuals and hearing or speech-impaired individuals, especially with those who are not used to sign language. A Gesture Language Translator (GLT) utilizes the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing (NLP) to translate sign language gestures to speech or text in real-time. Utilizing advanced gesture recognition algorithms, it will be capable of recognizing and translating hand movements, facial expressions, and body postures to a very high degree of accuracy to translate different sign languages suitably. The GLT will be the communication solution that is accessible and seamless in real time, bridging the communication gap between the deaf community and the hearing world with an aftereffect of facilitating inclusivity. Such a technology will revolutionize assistive communication in fully making digital and face-to-face communications less exclusive to disabled people than they are today.
