Literature Review
▰ A system was designed to make a translating glove that can be used

by any individual’s hand who is wearing it.
▰ The system for detection of standard Pakistan sign language (PSL)
through hand gesture was implemented using MATLAB.
▰ The system was developed that recognizes and translate static hand
gestures of ASL alphabets into textual output.

Dataset
▰ 800 words from Pakistan Sign Language dictionary.

▰ All the words are stored in database with their
corresponding videos.

Methodology
▰ Urdu text is stored in the form of alphabet or a word or sentence

in the system database.
▰ Python programming language is used to design an pattern

the parents of deaf to learn sign language.
▰ The project has also emphasize importance on developing
Urdu Language as Urdu language is largely spoken language
but in the field of technology and machine learning it needs to
be developed a lot.
