This web app translates Arabic speech or text into Moroccan Sign Language videos, fostering communication between the hearing and Moroccan deaf communities. # Arabic Speech To Moroccan Sign Language Web Application ## An operational web application that interprets spoken Arabic into Moroccan Sign Language videos, enabling seamless communication for the hearing-impaired. This project is a part of my end of 2nd year project at ENSIAS, Mohammed V University. When exploring potential project ideas, Professor M.

Image Source: nsf.gov Motivated by this insight, I embarked on the project myself, initiating with a basic web application featuring a limited set of Moroccan Sign Language words. This serves as a starting point for open-source contributors in Morocco, a primary focus of this project. Looking ahead, I plan to evolve this into a mobile application, expanding the range of Moroccan signs to cover more everyday spoken vocabulary. Additionally, I aim to develop an automatic speech recognition model specifically for the Moroccan dialect. This broader approach could benefit around 40 million potential users, catering to those who speak the dialect but not formal Arabic. The goal remains to create a comprehensive solution meeting the communication needs of the Moroccan market. Every part of this project is sample code which shows how to do the following: * Create a speech-to-video translator for Arabic Speech (A …
