Abstract: People who are Deaf often face barriers in classrooms, discussions, and social settings due to limited communication with hearing individuals. A major cause is that sign language is not universally understood, and many people lack proficiency in it. To address this, assistive technologies have emerged that translate spoken language into sign language, helping bridge the communication gap. These systems convert audio or text into Indian Sign Language (ISL) using animated visuals, making communication more inclusive and accessible. A key feature of our system is its ability to handle unknown words by breaking them into individual letters, ensuring continuous and meaningful translation even when a specific word is missing from the database. This makes the technology highly adaptive and reliable in real-world usage. By making communication seamless, such AI-powered tools empower Deaf individuals to participate equally in society, fostering greater inclusion, understanding, and accessibility across educational, professional, and social environments.
