Abstract

Communication can be a significant challenge for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Sign language serves

as a vital tool for these individuals, utilizing hand gestures, facial expressions, and body movements to convey messages and

emotions. In recent years, the development of sign language recognition systems and gesture-based controls has played a pivotal

role in bridging the communication gap between deaf and non-deaf people. This paper focuses on the advancements in real-time

sign language translation systems, which enable immediate conversion of sign language into other forms of communication,

such as text or speech. A detailed review of various sign language recognition technologies and systems developed between 2017

and 2021 is presented. These systems leverage a range of techniques, from sensor-based technologies and machine learning

algorithms to more advanced visual recognition and wearable devices. By analyzing the evolution of these systems, this paper

highlights the progress, challenges, and future prospects of sign language translation technologies, offering a comprehensive

understanding of their potential in improving accessibility and communication for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community
