QAZAQ SIGN LANGUAGE: BRIDGING COMMUNICATION BARRIERS

Abstract

The project is aimed to address the issue of communication barriers encountered by individuals with hearing disabilities, given the scarcity of resources in sign language for people in Kazakhstan. The project tackles the issue by developing a web application that provides the translation of spoken language (Kazakh, English, and Russian) to Kazakh-Russian signed language. The project aims to facilitate accessibility and communication of the deaf community by utilizing Language Technology, specifically the Sign Language Synthesis, Sign Language Translation, and Natural Language Processing. Additionally, the web application expands educational opportunities of the individuals with hearing disabilities by providing a book library, which could be also translated to sign language.
