TY - JOUR TI - An Innovative Artificial Replacement to Facilitate Communication between Visually and Hearing- Impaired People AU - Sangeetha R AU - Elakkiya S JO - International Journal of Scientific Research in Computer Science, Engineering and Information Technology PB - Technoscience Academy DA - 2017/10/31 PY - 2017 DO - https://doi.org/10.32628/IJSRCSEIT UR - https://ijsrcseit.com/CSEIT1725153 VL - 2 IS - 5 SP - 677 EP - 682 AB - In this work, the problem of the communication between visually- and hearing-impaired people is a special case of particular interest, where the aforementioned aids cannot be applied because these users do not share any common communication channel. A proposed scheme included algorithms for speech recognition and synthesis to aid communication between visually and hearing-impaired people. Our proposed framework consists of a situated communication environment designed to foster an immersive experience for the visually and hearing impaired. To achieve the desired result, our situated modality replacement framework combines a set of different modules, sign language analysis and synthesis, speech analysis and synthesis, into an innovative multimodal interface for disabled users.
