⦁ Project Summary:
The proposed solution is an AI-driven system that converts real-time speech
into sign language using animated avatars, providing accessible
communication for persons with hearing and speech impairments during
government functions and public events.
1
into text, which is then mapped to sign language gestures. An animated avatar
will present the signs in real-time, leveraging machine learning algorithms to
ensure accuracy and natural movement.
Month 2:
Development of speech recognition model for converting speech to text.
Begin AI model development for mapping text to sign language gestures.
Month 3:
Animation of sign language avatars.
Integration of speech-to-text and avatar animation components.
Month 4:
Testing, debugging, and refining the AI model and avatar animation.
Final testing and deployment preparation.
⦁ List of facilities available in the college to develop the prototype of the project:
1.Computer labs with high-performance computing resources.
2.Software development tools and AI frameworks.
3.Access to research databases for datasets on sign language and speech
recognition.
4.Animation and graphics software.
⦁ Nature of Industry support for the project, (if any): Potential support from tech
companies for AI model development and access to speech recognition tools.
Partnerships with accessibility organizations for feedback and testing.
2
Rs 5,000 for hardware (e.g., additional processing power for training the AI).
Rs 2,000 for testing and deployment materials.
⦁ Expected outcomes / results
1.An AI-based speech-to-sign language system providing real-time, accurate
translations through animated avatars.
2.Increased inclusivity and accessibility in public communication, particularly for
individuals with hearing and speech impairments.
3.A scalable model that can be applied to various public events and
government functions.
UNDERTAKING
⦁ ALL the students are studying in final year engineering. All the students are
registered only once for this scheme.
⦁ The college will provide the basic infrastructure and other required
facilities to the students for timely completion of their projects.
⦁ The college assumes to undertake the financial and other management
responsibilities of the project. We are aware that the amount is to be
utilized only for the purpose sanctioned i.e. to meet the expenses for
developing the prototype and not for purchase of computer consumables,
stationaries, honorarium, overhead etc. Unutilised balance amount will be
returned back to the University after the time of completion of the project.
