“…While numerous projects have been created to translate spoken language, most of them are limited to specific domains and small to medium-sized vocabularies. Another notable technology in this field is the use of 3D avatar animation, where virtual agents are incorporated into spoken language systems to provide a range of services [24].…”

Real-time sign language translation systems are of paramount importance in enabling communication for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. This population relies on various communication methods, including sign languages and visual techniques, to interact with others. While assistive technologies, such as hearing aids and captioning, have improved their communication capabilities, a significant communication gap still exists between sign language users and non-users. In order to bridge this gap, numerous sign language translation systems have been developed, encompassing sign language recognition and gesture-based controls. Our research aimed to analyze the advancements in real-time sign language translators developed over the past five years and their integration with IoT technology. By closely examining these technologies, we aimed to attain a deeper comprehension of their practical applications and evolution in the domain of sign language translation. We analyzed the current literature, technical reports, and conference papers on real-time sign language translation systems. Our results offer insights into the current state of the art in real-time sign language translation systems and their integration with IoT technology. We also provide a deep understanding of the recent developments in sign language translation technology and the potential for their fusion with Internet of Things technology to improve communication and promote inclusivity for the deaf and hard-of-hearing population.

“…Greek Sign Language is a complete and independent language, recognized as "a non-written language with all the linguistic phenomena observed in the spoken languages" (grammar, syntax, dictionary, phonology). In addition, the natural language of Deaf people presents elements of morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, while the linguistic system of phonology is replaced by the corresponding italics [7]. In sign language, the combination of handshape with other elements, such as direction, position and movement, gives a specific meaning to a word.…”

“…The signs that are rendered in this way are the main elements that distinguish sign language from spoken language [12]. Finally, there is a Finger Alphabet that is a morphological element of sign language [7]. Finger alphabet represents Greek alphabet of spoken language and differs from signs.…”

Sign Language is used to facilitate the communication between Deaf and non-Deaf people. It uses signs-words with basic structural elements such as handshape, parts of face, body or space, and the orientation of the fingers-palm. Sign Languages vary from people to people and from country to country and evolve as spoken languages. In the current study, an application which aims at Greek Sign Language and English Sign Language learning by hard of hearing people and talking people, has been developed. The application includes grouped signs in alphabetical order. The user can find Greek Sign Language signs, English sign language signs and translate from Greek sign language to English sign language. The written word of each sign, and the corresponding meaning are displayed. In addition, the sound is activated in order to enable users with partial hearing loss to hear the pronunciation of each word. The user is also provided with various tasks in order to enable an interaction of the knowledge acquired by the user. This interaction is offered mainly by multiple-choice tasks, incorporating text or video. The current application is not a simple sign language dictionary as it provides the interactive participation of users. It is a platform for Greek and English sign language active learning.
