According to research, deaf sufferers are the most disabled disabilities in Indonesia, including deaf sufferers who are still as school students. Basic learning how to communicate in word and object recognition between teacher and deaf students is a problem that must be solved to encourage deaf students to communicate well. Several studies conducted previously have succeeded in producing a variety of Android-based applications that help deaf in learning.
