Sign Language Recognition (shortened generally as SLR) is a computational task that involves recognizing actions from sign languages. [1] This is an essential problem to solve especially in the digital world to bridge the communication gap that is faced by people with hearing impairments.
The interpretation flow is normally between a sign language and a spoken language that are customarily used in the same country, such as French Sign Language (LSF) and spoken French in France, Spanish Sign Language (LSE) to spoken Spanish in Spain, British Sign Language (BSL) and spoken English in the U.K., and American Sign Language (ASL) and ...
American Sign Language (ASL) is a natural language [5] that serves as the predominant sign language of Deaf communities in the United States and most of Anglophone Canada. ASL is a complete and organized visual language that is expressed by employing both manual and nonmanual features . [ 6 ]
Sign languages such as American Sign Language (ASL) are characterized by phonological processes analogous to those of oral languages. Phonemes serve the same role between oral and signed languages, the main difference being oral languages are based on sound and signed languages are spatial and temporal. [1]
Nonmanual features in signed languages do not function the same way that general body language and facial expressions do in spoken ones. In spoken languages, they can give extra information but are not necessary for the receiver to understand the meaning of the utterance (for example, an autistic person may not use any facial expressions but still get their meaning across clearly, and people ...
Sign language translation technologies are limited in the same way as spoken language translation. None can translate with 100% accuracy. In fact, sign language translation technologies are far behind their spoken language counterparts. This is, in no trivial way, due to the fact that signed languages have multiple articulators.

Sutton SignWriting, or simply SignWriting, is a system of written sign languages.It is highly featural and visually iconic: the shapes of the characters are abstract pictures of the hands, face, and body; and their spatial arrangement on the page does not follow a sequential order, like the letters that make up written words.
