Sign Language-enabled Offline IP-based Video Call Intercom System for the Deaf
Abstract: Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing frequently encounter major communication challenges on digital platforms because sign language support is often insufficient. This study presents a real-time, internet-independent sign language-to-text translation system embedded in an offline IP-based video intercom, designed to facilitate seamless communication. Leveraging TensorFlow’s Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for classification and MediaPipe for hand tracking, the system achieved a training accuracy of 94.24% and a validation accuracy …

Sign Talk for Blind and Deaf Translating Hand Gestures into Audible and Textual Communication
Abstract: Sign language serves as a vital communication method for individuals who are deaf or have hearing impairments. It relies on hand gestures, facial cues, and body language to convey messages and express meaning. However, many people who do not know sign language find it hard to communicate with sign language users. The latest progress in artificial intelligence and computing has enabled the creation of systems that can automatically recognize sign …

Gesture Vocalizer Using Arduino
Abstract: Science and technology have been an indispensable part of our lives, driving innovation and transforming the way we communicate. Communication barriers between the hearing-impaired and the hearing population pose significant challenges in daily interactions. Sign language, a primary mode of communication for the deaf and mute communities, is not universally understood by the general public. This research work presents a novel system for real-time sign language to speech conversion, aiming …

Sign Language and Face Expression Recognition Using Neural Networks: Deep Learning Approach to Break Communication Barriers
Abstract: Our study proposes a multimodal gesture recognition system specifically designed to aid communication for the deaf community. By employing neural network concepts, we utilize 3D convolutional neural networks (3D CNNs) to extract features from both hand and face images, focusing on relevant regions. Preprocessing techniques are applied to isolate these areas of interest prior to feature extraction. Unique 3D CNN architectures are then trained for each modality to capture the …

Development of 3D Avatar based ISL Dictionary for Public Places Terminology
Abstract: A synthetic animated Indian Sign Language (ISL) dictionary could be a great tool for deaf people to communicate their thoughts, opinions, and ideas to hearing people in the current computerized era. There is currently no ISL synthetic animated dictionary designed specifically for public places, despite the fact that there are numerous human-based video dictionaries available. In this article, the creation of a 4231-word ISL dictionary for various public places terminology …

A Study on Insect Journey using Sensor
Abstract: The orthodox entomologist’s toolkit – the net, the vial, the killing jar – has long rendered its subject’s mute. We have cataloged insects by their form, their pinned and static beauty, but have been largely deaf to the living, breathing reality of their existence. This study proposes a paradigm shift: to listen. By deploying a suite of miniaturized, non-invasive sensors – from accelerometers that trace the micro-vibrations of a beetle’s …
