MOBILE VOICE TO SIGN LANGUAGE SYSTEM

This report presents recent technologies using Mobile devices as a medium to
interact between normal people and hearing disables people. This system is using Java
mobile technologies to do voice processing on a mobile platform. This system will allow
users to capture the voice match with appropriate sign. Voice recognition to control
devices such as a robot already implemented in Java. Here some ideas to implement by
using J2ME which is for small mobile devices to make it valuable for current situation
or technology. There are at least 29 million people around the world who suffer from
speech and hearing disabilities. It is somehow difficult for us to interact with them
because of the unknown language used by them to communicate with each other. Sign
language is a form of communication which is widely used by deaf and mute peoples.
Thus, the only way of communication is learning their language which is sign language.
As in the case in verbal language, sign language is differs from one region to another.
However, when people using different signed languages meet, communication is
significantly easier than when people of different language meet. Sign language, in this
respect, gives access to an international deaf community to communicate. This report
contains solution whereby one does not need to learn sign language to be able to
communicate with the disabled. This system will convert the English language to sign
language.
