Towards a sign language synthesizer: a bridge to communication gap of the hearing/speech impaired community

Sign language synthesizer is a method to visualize the sign language movement from the spoken language. The sign language (SL) is one of means used by HSI people to communicate to normal people. But, unfortunately the number of people, including the HSI people, who are familiar with sign language is...
