Abstract

Language is a vital part of society, as being able to converse with one another allows people to grow advance and share resources. We value the ability of being able to communicate with people and being able to have our lives interact. Just as humanity advances so does language, as well as the inherent language barriers that are associated with it. One communication barrier to be overcome is improving the ability for the non-verbal and verbal speakers to effectively communicate with each other. With the aid of technology, communication between these two parties has improved. This study aims to showcase how to improve the effectiveness of communication between the non-verbal and verbal speakers by using machine learning and computer vision. An application, named Veritas was developed to allow people using sign language to communicate their messages and have that message translated into readable text. Veritas helps people who are struggling with verbal communication communicate better with a non-verbal speaker and vice versa. © 2021 Association for Computing Machinery. All rights reserved.
