Vibrotactile and Visual Feedback for Deaf and Mute

Abstract

According to World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) there are approximately 70 million deaf and mute all around the world. They are the unfortunate ones who are deprived of communication properly. This creates gap between the normal people and the deprived ones. In our research, we will establish communication between both the normal people and the deprived ones. We will establish one to one and two-way communication. Our research consists of mainly two modules; first module is to generate texts from speech which will then be classified into command sets and context sets, second module is providing reply by the deaf and mute to the normal people. The commands and contexts will be mapped to the database and according to that output will be shown. It is an adaptive and multimodal approach.
