Real-Time Bidirectional Translation System Between Text and Indian Sign Language Using Deep Learning and NLP Techniques

In this paper, we present a real-time translation system that bridges the communication gap between the hearing and non-hearing communities. Our system converts English text to Indian Sign Language (ISL) and vice versa, using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques and deep learning-based gesture recognition. The system supports video-based gesture recognition for ISL and provides accurate text translations in real-time. This study addresses the technical challenges involved, including feature extraction from gestures and translating com- plex ISL sentences using neural networks like LSTM.
