Sign language (SL) is a visual language with a syntactic system different from spoken language and is used by deaf and hearing-impaired individuals as primary mean of communication. The lack of translated information to sign language, especially in written form, represents a barrier and creates a gap between the deaf and hearing communities, this gap is even wider within deaf community with low literacy skills. To fill this gap, in 2021, as part of Jumla Sign language project Mada Center developed and launched “Bu Hamad”, the first virtual and digital character (Avatar) using the Qatari sign language to serve this community and help translate Arabic texts into sign language. |
