Abstract:

This research is designed and developed in order to help the Deaf-Mute Community and person with no disability to break the language barrier between them and to help the Teacher of LSENs Divisoria Elementary School. The application provides information and knowledge to every student regardless of disability, while also providing material to help students with no disability to understand and accept their differences with the deaf-mute people. This strategy focuses on developing and improving a software design based on user requirements. The system design is based on the conclusions of a series of process studies, data to be analyzed, and user feedback through the Kinect to Connect App. Kinect to Connect: a two-way sign language gesture sensor desktop application that can translate gesture-text and text-gesture is a software that could run in any laptop with a processor of Ryzen 5 or intel core i5, the study aims to develop an application that can help the Special education teachers and the learners with special education need. Furthermore, the evaluation-based outcome of the Kinect to Connect desktop-based program is favorable to both respondents and researchers. The Kinect to Connect Application is a novel technique of offering teaching styles for instructors that would greatly assist in reducing their workloads and maybe overcoming the language barrier with a deaf-mute and non-disabled person.
