The results showed that the level of practicality of learning media was 3.65 while the effectiveness level of learning media was 3.41. By using the Likert scale, it can be concluded that android-based sign language recognition learning media applications are very practical and very effective for teachers to use as an alternative to sign language recognition learning media in SLB.
