American Sign Language Interpreter

Abstract

There is currently an abundance of software in the market that is used to help teach people sign language. This software is very effective; however it is very difficult to know if you are making correct hand gestures. It is quite tedious to learn from the software hence making them less user friendly. In our paper we are discussing an effective use of glove for implementing an interactive sign language teaching programme. We believe that, with the use of glove, signs can be made with more accuracy and better consistency. Having a glove also would enable us to practice sign language without having to be next to a computer. The sign language glove seems to be very useful to aid in communication with the deaf. We believe that such a translator could be an effective teacher to those who want to learn sign language.
