LibrasTube: um aplicativo para a criação de janelas de libras sincronizadas com vídeos do YouTube

Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies, when developed, generally do not address the needs of people with disabilities. As a result, new technologies need to be adapted or developed to reduce access barriers for people with disabilities. This paper addresses the problem of inclusion and access to information for deaf people on multimedia platforms such as YouTube. Through an Android application called LibrasTube, this work proposes an architecture of automatic translation and synchronization of Libras' windows through subtitles created by speech recognition tools. Therefore, deaf users will be able to watch YouTube videos more inclusively by adding Libras' windows to videos. In the realization of this work, it was veri ed that the synchronization of these windows with the original video is something reachable, however, the development of technologies for textual summaries is necessary so that this solution can, in fact, work with a satisfactory quality.
