Development of the Sign Language Translator System Using Myo and RaspberryPi2

Abstract

In this paper, the differences between the non-disabled people and dyslexic person or hearing-impaired person were understood, and the sign language translator to enable communication between them was developed. One of the current sign language translators should always be equipped with a camera because it recognizes sign language by camera, and it has limitation in real life because it was interpreted directly by the listener. Other one of the sign language translators attached to the finger or inserted into the hand is not good in appearances. The sign language translator developed in this study is a wearable device using Myo and RaspberryPi2 to enable communication anytime and anywhere with other person. Using this device, it is expected that the dyslexic person or hearing-impaired person can communicate easily with non-disabled people and their independence and quality of life will be achieved.
