Abstract

This paper describes a mobile application with several features which can be used to teach Arabic sign language and to communicate using it. These features include translating from Arabic text to Arabic sign language, video chatting where two users can use the application to chat in Arabic sign language, SMS messaging and translating SMS messages to Arabic sign language, in addition to other features such as easy indexing for Arabic words and recording own sentence. The system is also evaluated in terms of performance and cost against other similar systems.
