Summary:

Automatic recognition of sign languages to help hearing impaired people is an area that has been explored for quite some time. However, this is still a practical problem due to the complexity involved making it a big challenge. The use of devices, such as the Kinect sensor, has been shown to be promising in gesture recognition. Therefore, is proposes an application for users of the Brazilian Sign Language, which brings a main feature of voice generation based on static hand gestures through Kinect. The preliminary results obtained through testing had an accuracy reaching up to 89% the gesture recognition process.
