Airport Announcement System for Deaf

Rakesh Kumar, Vishal Goyal, Lalit Goyal


Abstract
People belonging to hearing-impaired community feels very uncomfortable while travelling or visiting at airport without the help of human interpreter. Hearing-impaired people are not able to hear any announcements made at airport like which flight heading to which destination. They remain ignorant about the choosing of gate number or counter number without the help of interpreter. Even they cannot find whether flight is on time, delayed or cancelled. The Airport Announcement System for Deaf is a rule-based MT developed. It is the first system developed in the domain of public places to translate all the announcements used at Airport into Indian Sign Language (ISL) synthetic animations. The system is developed using Python and Flask Framework. This Machine Translation system accepts announcements in the form of English text as input and produces Indian Sign Language (ISL) synthetic animations as output.
