MACHINE TRANSLATION OF TEXT-TO-SIGN LANGUAGE FOR BANKING SYSTEMS
India is now rapidly developing due to which the deaf community is also getting good concern in society. The government is keen on facilitating basic amenities and good employment sources for deaf adult. Deafness becomes a barrier to communicate with people at social and financial level. Indian sign language is used by deaf people to communicate with soft hearing people. Hence a translation system which can be used by deaf people to have basic access at banks could be of greater help to them and support their financial requirements. Therefore, a Machine Translation (MT) system which can convert English to Indian sign language (ISL), would improve quality of life for these people. In this paper, we discuss a system that implements transfer based machine translation for conversion of English to Indian sign language.
