Abstract
The paper proposes an algorithm of hand-shape recognition and applies it to a graphical user interface (GUI) support system for a sight handicapped person. This algorithm is to recognize the angle of a hand and ten hand-shapes. As one application of this algorithm, we implement a system in which the angle of a hand controls a reading point in text on a screen in real time, and the text is read out with sound synthesis software. Further, in this system, more complicated directions to control a text reader can be done by recognized hand-shapes.
