Isharah Continuous Sign Language Recognition and Translation Dataset
The first large-scale continuous Saudi Sign Language (SSL) dataset
The first large-scale continuous Saudi Sign Language (SSL) dataset
Isharah is a large-scale dataset for Continuous Saudi Sign Language (SSL) recognition and translation. It features over 30,000 video samples signed by deaf and hearing-impaired individuals using smartphones in varied settings.
The dataset supports both Continuous Sign Language Recognition (CSLR) and Sign Language Translation (SLT), and includes Sentence-level gloss annotations and Corresponding Arabic translations. Three benchmark subsets are included: Isharah-500, Isharah-1000, and Isharah-2000.
We are currently preparing the dataset files for public release. The download links will be available soon.
