Abstract

This study is about sign language translation into text; this technology is for those experiencing difficulty in communicating, i.e., those who have speech disorders, hearing impairment, and are deaf. Sign language translation into text is done through a process when one uses sign language that could be translated into text. Deep learning is a machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) technique that mimics how humans acquire knowledge; the complexity and abstraction of deep learning algorithms are stacked in a hierarchy. The researchers utilized Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC), and Deep Belief Network (DBN) to collect and gather the results of their system through different methods of translating sign language into text. Through the systematic literature review of various published papers related to sign language translation using deep learning techniques, this paper discusses and systematically analyzed various studies and come up with a proposed model in translating sign language into text.
