Abstract

Communication involves conveying information through the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information via speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behavior. Four central communication categories include written, visual, verbal, and nonverbal. Among those categories, sign language is a crucial form of nonverbal communication, serving as the primary language for people with hearing impairment. Communication between hearing individuals and those with hearing issues is not always straightforward. Accordingly, it is essential to establish a clear understanding of the sign language to avoid misinterpretation of the conveyed information. To address these challenges, this study designs a translator application, similar to Google Translate, that facilitates communication between individuals who speak different sign languages. By using this application, individuals can input the original message, then the application will translate the message into the desired language, thereby enabling better understanding and communication.
