AUDIO TO SIGN LANGUAGE TOOL

– By using this sign language people who are not able to listen, or speak, in other words, the peoples who are disabled make them to communicate with each other via this sign language tool. Sign language is a natural way of communication for challenged people with speaking and heaving disabilities. It will help them to know what they are saying, what they want etc. There have been various mediums available to translate or to recognize sign language and convert them to text, but text-to-sign language conversion systems have been rarely developed, this is due to the scarcity of any sign language corpus. Our project aims at creating a translation system that consists of a parsing module that parses the input English sentence-to-phrase structure grammar representation on which Indian sign language grammar rules are applied. This is done by eliminating stop words from the reordered sentence which we have given in the input. Stemming is applied to convert the words to their root form as Indian sign language does not support inflections of the word. All words of the sentence are then checked against the words in the dictionary containing videos representing each of the words. If the words are not found in the dictionary, their corresponding synonym is used to replace them. The proposed system is innovative as the existing systems are limited to the direct conversion of words into Indian sign language whereas our system aims to convert these sentences into Indian sign language grammar in the real domain and help disable’s.
