An Implementation of Sign Language Learning Application (SIGNLA)

Hand gesture is one of the methods used in sign language for non-verbal communication. It is most commonly used by deaf & dumb people who have hearing or speech problems to communicate among themselves or with normal people. Various sign language systems had been developed by many makers around the world but they are neither flexible nor cost-effective for the end users. Hence, it is a software which presents a system prototype that is able to automatically recognize and teach sign language to help deaf and dumb people to communicate more effectively with each other or normal people. Dumb people are usually deprived of normal communication with other people in the society, also normal people find it difficult to understand and communicate with them. These people have to rely on an interpreter or on some sort of visual communication. An interpreter won’t be always available and visual communication is mostly difficult to understand. Sign Language is the primary means of communication in the deaf and dumb community. As a normal person is unaware of the grammar or meaning of various gestures that are part of a sign language, it is primarily limited to their families and/or deaf and dumb community. Many times, Parents get problems to teach their dumb and deaf child if parents are normal. To solve this problem, we have develop a SignLA application. SignLA application is user friendly. There are two parts of SignLa. One is for students and one is for admin. Students can learn alphabets,numbers, food name etc with sign languages and audio. Students can also attend quizes and check their progress. The another part of this application is admin. Admin can add new videos of images related to particular topic and quizes also with four options.
