Sr. No | Article No / APP/ System | Year | Features | Strength | Limitations |
1 | Enhancing interaction and learning experience for deaf students through sign language translator [1] | 2024 | Use of ADDIE, translate words into sign language, Voice detection from a video and converts it into sign language, An LMS type static learning system. | The voice detection from a video and its conversion it sign language. | Cannot convert voice into 3D motion. |
2 | Indonesian Sign Language (SIBI) Learning Media Application Based on Deep Learning Technology for Deaf Children [2] | 2023 | Uses TensorFlow Lite, Images/objects as input and convert into Indonesian Sign Language in real-time. | Its average accuracy is about 100%, Real-time conversion. | If cannot recognize certain image or object, in case of failure recommends the Indonesian Sign Language dictionary. |
3 | Machine learning based AI generated sign language translator [3] | 2023 | Use LSTM model, Takes text/voice as input and provides sign’s image according to ISL. | Focuses on converting voice to sign language | Less user satisfaction, complexities in voice recognition. |
4 | Hand Talk [4] | 2023 | Real time voice/text conversion into 3D animation. | Real time detection of voice and text. | No static learning system for beginners specially, for American Sign Language. |
5 | ISL Journey [5] | 2022 | A visual dictionary with every sign used in the lessons, practice quizzes, grammar and culture tips. | A visual dictionary with every sign of ISL. | No real time conversion of text or voice into sign language, no 3D animation |

6 | AI enabled sign language recognition and VR space bidirectional communication using triboelectric smart glove [6] | 2021 | Uses CNN model, uses special gloves to recognize the gestures and its conversion to text and voice | Its average accuracy is about 86%. | Dependent on specialized gloves, cannot convert text/voice into 3D motion. |
7 | EduSign Academy [7] | 2021 | Specially designed for the academic purposes, Videos for beginners according to the specific course or degree. | Special courses for deaf learners. | No real time detection of text or voice into 3D Motion hand Gesture. |
8 | An intelligent system to help deaf students learn Arabic Sign Language [8] | 2021 | Use of ArSL model, Converts voice to Arabic Sign Language, Takes gesture images as input and converts into voice. | Its average accuracy is about 99%, System keeps itself up-to-date according to new dataset. | Cannot convert text to 3D motion and vice versa, Only applicable for Arabic Language. |
9 | PSL [9] | 2020 | The Pakistan Sign Language in short video tutorials in Urdu.
| Videos for deaf persons beginners to learn PSL. | No real time detection, No 3D Motion Visualization. |
10 | Deaf Sign Language [10] | 2019 | Contains categories of static content like characters, counting, animal names etc. | System uses only pictures, Static data for basic learning for deaf person. | Static data, no 3D Motion, no real time detection. |
Modules of our Deaf Learning System
Text to Gesture
This module converts input text into clear, expressive gestures.
Voice to Gesture
This module recognizes spoken words and audio as text and then converts into corresponding signs and gestures.
Gesture to Text
This module converts gestures used by deaf user into text.
Gesture to Voice
This module recognizes the gestures and signs used by deaf user as speech and later converts into speech.
Basic Content Learning System
This module provides a comprehensive learning system containing categories like English alphabets, Fruit names, Vegetables name etc.
