Sign language translation technologies have become essential in promoting inclusivity and enabling communication for the specially abled community. This paper presents a comparative study of existing translation techniques, including computer vision, wearable sensors, and natural language processing-based systems. We evaluate these methodologies based on key metrics such as accuracy, latency, accessibility, and real-world applicability. Our findings highlight the trade-offs between these approaches, with wearable sensors providing higher accuracy and lower latency, while computer vision-based methods excel in accessibility. The study emphasizes the need for hybrid solutions that combine the strengths of multiple approaches to achieve both technical robustness and user-centric accessibility.
