PDF |
ABSTRACT Communication involves information exchange between a sender and receiver through various means. Sign language is a form of nonverbal communication that relies on facial expressions and hand movements. Sign language has long been used to help people with hearing impairments communicate and participate in society - from the earliest human history records.This study presents a mobile application designed to support Turkish Sign Language education and public awareness. It is an application for those with hearing loss or who want to communicate with them. With a set of level-based video lessons and an integrated image processing system, the application gives immediate feedback to encourage accurate gesture execution and support effective learning.The project presents a more accessible design by analyzing similar solutions, their shortcomings, and addressing gaps. Main objectives are to spread Turkish Sign Language and increase social inclusion for the hearing impaired. |
