Abstract

It can be argued that the lack of access to information and knowledge in their natural language is one of the obstacles faced by Deaf Communities around the world. Providing access to communication, information and knowledge for the Deaf are just some of the motivations for writing record in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). SignWriting is the most used writing system in sign languages, because it is complete, with the power to graphically represent any of them. However, this expressive power implies a great complexity that has not yet been computationally solved. This paper describes a research project of an automatic generator of Libras signs in SignWriting as an alternative to this problem, together with its results so far.
