A Survey of Applications for Deaf-Mute People Based on IoT and Cloud Computing Services

In the world there are more than 400 million people with disabilities associated with speech and hearing, which represents more than 6% of the population worldwide, these people have various problems to be able to integrate into routine activities, as well as to access work sources. This research presents a compilation on technological developments based on IoT devices, as well as cloud computing services dedicated to helping people deaf and mute in their integration into society and the use of information technologies to closing the gap with people who do not have some type of disability. Among the most important investigations are those that use neural networks applied to video to interpret movements of people who use sign language, and in this way be able to generate the translation of text and speech, on the other hand, the outstanding investigations in IoT can interpret the movements of sign language for translate to text and voice using smartphones and other electronic devices. This paper includes a proposal focused on an evolutionary system to resolving some of the vulnerabilities that sign language translation systems present.
