Summary
Hearing loss is one of the major barriers that one can face in day-to-day activities, especially that involves social interactions. The inability of capturing the sounds from the environment by the ear is known as hearing weakness or deafness. This condition can either be temporary or permanent. Deaf and mute people are unable to communicate efficiently with others and express their feelings to ordinary people. Sign language is the critical source for conveying messages and emotions for deaf and mute people. Sign language helps communicate between the speaking community and the person who neither speaks nor hears. The sign language does not help to communicate efficiently between ordinary people. Because the common societies are unaware of the sign language, deaf and mute people are isolated from society due to this communication barrier. A mobile application development was identified as the method for facilitating the said barrier
