Text to Pakistan Sign Language for Urdu

Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject Summary

There are different sign languages being used all over the world such as British sign language (BSL), American sign language (ASL), Arabic sign language (ArSL). In our project, the purpose of system is to introduce a sign language translator for Pakistan Sign Language. The proposed system will take some Urdu text (letter or numeral) or an audio input and a particular sign will be displayed against that text or audio. Input will be matched with database. So this system will help to remove the difficulty for the hearing impaired person.

Project Objectives

As there is a noticeable amount of people in Pakistan who are deaf and a lot of work done is needed for the development of Pakistan sign language. There are many people who don’t even know about PSL signs/gestures. Urdu is the eighth largest spoken language in the world. Still very less work is done on its computational linguistics identification of different terms in this area demands a lot of work.  Our aim is to develop a system that can provide facilities to the deaf or hearing impaired person by converting the text/audio into the corresponding sign language.
