Real Time Sign Language Translation Systems: A review study

Abstract

There are people who cannot communicate in the same way with others. Deaf and hard-of-hearing people use sign languages for their communication with other people. Sign languages are also used for the communication between deaf and non-deaf people, including different types of hand gestures and facial expressions for communication and emotional expression. Sign language recognition and gesture-based controls are applications that are used by gesture recognition technologies, and it is a fact that this technology has reduced the communication gap, while these systems are used for converting gestures to text or speech. The focus of our research is to analyze real-time sign language translators that are used for language translation. Sign Language Translation Systems that were developed from 2017 to 2021 are analysed in this paper.
