T.A.L.I.A: Tradutor Automático de Libras com Inteligência Artificial

Abstract

Deafness is a problem that affects millions of people worldwide and can be a significant obstacle in daily life. Communication is essential for human beings, but for those who have difficulty hearing, communication can be a difficult task. This can lead to problems of social isolation, difficulty accessing important information, and lack of educational and professional opportunities. Fortunately, technology is advancing rapidly, and with it, new solutions are being developed to help people who suffer from deafness. The artificial intelligence is the key for the project that will be presented in this article, because thanks to the use of artificial neural networks, TALIA is able to recognize Libras signs and translate them in real-time to the ones that do not understand this sign language. After this, our project will become an example of how technology can be used to improve deaf people’s life. This technology can help to reduce the communication barrier that many people face when trying to communicate with a deaf person. In addition, the translation can be displayed both in voice and in text form, making the technology even more accessible. For those who have no experience with sign language, voice translation can be a quick and easy way to understand the message. On the other hand, for those who are deaf and cannot understand Libras too, text translation can be a more convenient option. Furthermore, this technology may have applications in other areas such as education and work, where communication is essential. It is important to note that this technology is not perfect and there is still room for improvement. However, it is an important step in the right direction and shows how technology can be used to create a more inclusive and accessible world.
