| Abstract: |
| The idea of LISAAN is to develop a mobile phone app which can take the gestures from the physically impaired person as input, recognize it and give the corresponding text as output and contrariwise. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| Our community has many people who are unable to understand the things that normal people communicate. Special language is needed in order to communicate between hearing-impaired and normal people. A bidirectional communication assistant is the key. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| Our customer segment is directed at every person in this society who has access to mobile phones especially hearing-impaired people. Main needs of a customer that we are addressing include the real-time communication without the need of internet. Users can also learn the language in their time. |
| How will the solution works |
| We will provide services in the form of an application based on ML. It will have two separate interfaces for the deaf and normal people while communicating each other. For a normal person, it’s just like a simple messaging app. He will write the sentence and related gestures approved from Pakistan Sign Language (PSL) will be displayed. The interface for deaf will have gesture input. Real-time image is processed, only the word(s) corresponding to that gesture will be displayed on screen. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| LISAAN will be the first app of its kind in Pakistan as we do not have any real-time application accessible to us. PSL itself has an app but doesnt giga138 |
