Abstract

“NEO - The Sahya Drishti” is an innovative online platform created to address communication obstacles faced by the hearing-impaired community in India. Although Indian Sign Language is widely used for communication, engaging with non- ISL speakers can present substantial difficulties. In response, our platform functions as a complete resource for ISL, promoting smooth interaction between sign language users and the wider public. Our platform, developed using the MERN stack, specializes in facilitating interaction between humans and computers by transforming spoken and written inputs into animated ISL gestures. These are then portrayed through a dynamic 3D avatar. This unique method improves understanding of verbal language for individuals with hearing impairments, while also offering opportunities for learning ISL and enabling users to produce their own ISL videos. As sign language relies heavily on visual cues and manual communication, our project leverages web technology, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing to develop an interface that translates audio inputs into ISL gestures. This technological advancement holds significant promise for the social, emotional, and linguistic development of the deaf community, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and accessibility in communication. “NEO - The Sahya Drishti” strives to break down communication obstacles and promote a more cohesive and diverse society by enabling individuals with hearing impairments to participate fully in all aspects of life.
