Abstract

The diversification of the information dissemination channels as well as the user available bandwidth, contributed to the increasing availability of audio-visual notices in various formats and media. Despite of the large volume of news, deaf people tend to be uninformed, because they do not have a complete understanding of the news on the tradition way of publications. Thus, accessibility becomes an important point of study, because it allows the information socialization, contributing to social and digital inclusion, and allowing the different people integration. This paper presents how to use Digital TV resources to provide a solution for deaf people to read TV Closed Caption in Brazilian Deaf Sign Language (LIBRAS). The main objective of this paper is to allow the automatic translation of the closed captions used in Digital TV to Libras, and present the experiments results.
