Dear Sir/Madam:
I am working on my master's thesis. The project i am supposed to do is about a speech to text conversion and speech to American sign language translation.
So, the input is speech and the output is both the corresponding text and ASL (American Sign Language). In a similar manner to the iCOmmunicator.
The OS i am using is windows XP.
In this regard I have some questions:
1- Which engine you recommend me to use, Sphinx3 or Sphinx4. Honestly, i am preffering to deal with C or C++ rather than Java since i had never programmed in Java before? However, depending on your recommendaion i will be opting for the most suitable one.
2-Is there a ready to use database for the American sign language which i can directly integrate with the speech engine?
3-Where I can find such database or buy it?
4- If such ASL database was there, i think the linking between the speech engine and the database could be thru the text, i mean the Sphinx will be converting speech-to-text then i have to link it with some ASL database where it can relate its input text to the corresponding Sign?
5-Please if you have any recommendations let me know.
6- As I just have 3 months to finish this project I hope you will reply me asap.
Best regards
randk
