We present a system that provides with subtitling and Spanish Sign Language rep- resentation capabilities to allow Spanish Deaf population can access to such speech content. The system is composed by a speech recognition module, a machine translation module from Spanish to Spanish Sign Language and a Spanish Sign Language synthesis module. On the deaf person side, a user-friendly interface with subtitle and avatar components allows him/her to access the speech information.

It is cloud-based, built over a speech recognition module, a transfer-based machine translation module and a Sign Language synthesis module that employs an avatar to present the signed content.

The format is oriented to its representation by virtual 3D human avatars over mobile devices. So the skeleton definition has been simplified and restructured to upgrade performance and storage requirements. This definition has been designed to perform Spanish Sign Language, but it can be easily adapted to any other sign language. This format is the base for a study of the impact that minimal modifications on the same symbol have on the understanding of the message.

This service will allow deaf people to communicate properly with other people. The deaf person will make a video-calling using a 3G mobile device and what the other person means using his voice, is recognized and translated to sign language by a

La presentación al usuario final del lenguaje de signos es realizada por un personaje animado en tres dimensiones. Este transcriptor está creado para adaptar su salida a la capacidad de proceso del dispositivo receptor. Por lo que puede ser utilizado por un usuario en un ordenador personal para transcribir una página Web, o en un teléfono móvil para transcribir una conversación (utilizando un reconocedor de voz). La flexibilidad del sistema permite adaptarlo a varios idiomas o usarlo como un simple elemento para mejorar una interfaz multimedia. PALABRAS CLAVES Accesibilidad, Lenguaje de signos, Interprete, Multidispositivo, Distribuido.
