Hearing the Unheard: Statistical Examination of Public Attitudes, Awareness, and Acceptance of Sign Language Recognition in Dhaka

Effective communication is essential in modern society, regardless of language preferences, and is key to creating understanding and connection. The development of Sign Language Recognition (SLR) technology offers considerable potential for establishing inclusive relationships between deaf and hearing individuals. This research intends to explore contemporary public opinions toward SLR, focusing on its societal impact and the necessity of understanding. We investigate public perceptions through an online poll and employ statistical tools like correlation and regression. Our findings reveal that respondents had a great awareness and grasp of SLR, appreciating its importance and potential. These findings are valuable for policymakers, technology developers, and educators, providing them with critical information to build inclusive policies. By offering concrete proof of public opinion, this research helps bridge the gap between technological innovation, education, and societal requirements. We advise that the government take aggressive actions to harness these insights and encourage the greater adoption of SLR among society. Overall, this study utilizes sophisticated statistical techniques to support development toward a more inclusive future, trying to break down communication barriers and ensuring everyone, regardless of how they communicate, has equal opportunity to engage in society.

Abstract

Effective communication is essential in modern society, regardless of language preferences, and is key to creating understanding and connection. The development of Sign Language Recognition (SLR) technology offers considerable potential for establishing inclusive relationships between deaf and hearing individuals. This research intends to explore contemporary public opinions toward SLR, focusing on its societal impact and the necessity of understanding. We investigate public perceptions through an online poll and employ statistical tools like correlation and regression. Our findings reveal that respondents had a great awareness and grasp of SLR, appreciating its importance and potential. These findings are valuable for policymakers, technology developers, and educators, providing them with critical information to build inclusive policies. By offering concrete proof of public opinion, this research helps bridge the gap between technological innovation, education, and societal requirements. We advise that the government take aggressive actions to harness these insights and encourage the greater adoption of SLR among society. Overall, this study utilizes sophisticated statistical techniques to support development toward a more inclusive future, trying to break down communication barriers and ensuring everyone, regardless of how they communicate, has equal opportunity to engage in society.
