Abstract
The deaf people are using sign language for communication. Mostly information is available in written form or spoken language. As the deaf people cannot understand easily, avatars are useful to generate sign from text. Synthetic animation we can achieved through a notation system like HamNoSys, Stokoe, SignWriting, etc. The Hamburg notation system for sign languages (HamNoSys) is an alphabetical system for the primarily phonetic description of signs. However, there are no research on creation HamNoySys Notation for Gujarati Sign Language Alphabets. In this paper, avatar-based Guajarati dictionary has proposed for speech to text to Gujarati Sign Language System. This paper represents a creation of HamNoSys of Guajarati alphabets and convert them into HamNosys codes that codes will help to generate SiGML–XML code for performing the sign by Avatar.
