Abstract

In an increasingly connected world, the development of technology has been instrumental in breaking down barriers and fostering communication between diverse groups. One such group that has benefited from technological advancement is the Deaf and hard-of-hearing (D/HH) community, which communicates using sign language. Sign language, a rich and expressive form of communication, communicates visually using the hands, arms, face, and upper body to produce signs. However, there is a lack of teaching and learning resources to assist the deaf community and those interested in learning sign language with the learning process. Therefore, this chapter investigates the development of a mobile application for sign language focusing on Malaysian Sign Language (MSL). The user-friendly interfaces for this application make learning and using sign language more intuitive and accessible to individuals with hearing impairments and those without. This application also provides users with a platform to learn, practice, and improve their sign language knowledge.
