This approach is comprised of seven modules which are straightforward and extendable. The applications of TSTMT can be used to facilitate learning in deaf people and to help them to communicate with hearing people via their own language. In this paper the idea and initial experiment are presented. © 2005 IEEE.Mahidol UniversityEngineeringConference PaperSCOPUS10.1109/ICMLA.2005.67
