Animated Sign Synthesis of Indian Sign Language

Sign language is a root level communication language for deaf people or those who are hearing impaired, so they found difficulty to communicate with the outer world. Hearing impaired people also had less reading skills, than the average educated person [5] so they cannot understand or gain information from outer world such as from Banks, Railways, and many more sector, they lack basic communication with others. To reduce this communication gap and made them available more information, we propose a system (model) which synthesizes signs from sign text to Indian sign language (ISL). For representing sign we use an animated human model which displays the selected text as input to the corresponding animation by using multimedia techniques.
