Abstract

The language exclusively used by hearing-impaired people to interact with one another is classified as sign language. It is a gesture-based language used by hearing-impaired people to share their ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc. Research into Indian Sign Language (ISL) is a prominent topic in computer science. There are a variety of translation systems available for translating the text into Indian sign language. Each method, however, has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. In this study, comparative analysis of the Indian sign language translator has been explored.
