MonVoix - An Android Application for hearing impaired people
Abstract
Human communication is the most valuable foundation in developing a cooperative environment for sharing information and knowledge by interactive sessions. Normal individual vocalizes his views through shared intentions like facial expressions and hand gestures. People with acoustical disabilities are obligated to rely on interpreters for day-to-day conversations. Interpretation of various Sign Languages is important as it will shorten the social drift and act as an agent of communal integration. This paper proposes an Android Application for a coherent interpretation of Sign Languages. MonVoix- a French remark for my voice, would act as a boon for the deaf and the mute by completely eliminating the requisite of a human interpreter. This approach utilizes a user’s Smartphone camera to capture a series of hand gestures and convert the image file to the corresponding message and audio using image processing techniques and database emulation for identification of image.
