- The guest of the Career Days event organized by the Child Development Department of the Faculty of Health Sciences was Göncü Musa ZEYTUN, a member of the DOSTEXT Project. The DOSTEXT Project aims to ‘listen’ to all individuals with hearing impairment, striving to be their voice. It effectively utilizes modern technology to provide a bright solution that facilitates life for hearing-impaired individuals. DOSTEXT digitally translates real-life sign language interactions, offering a unique solution to the need for easy communication and understanding anytime, anywhere for the hearing-impaired. Animation characters bring sign language to life and can also convert movements into text or speech. Contrary to common belief, written communication is not a very effective method to communicate with the hearing-impaired. Due to the grammatical and structural differences between sign language and Turkish, hearing-impaired individuals often struggle to read and understand written messages. Therefore, the sign language, which is unique to the hearing-impaired, can be thought of as an application that translates it into Turkish, similar to online translation tools, and vice versa. This application enables limitless communication with the hearing-impaired. For more project details, click here. We thank Mr. Göncü Musa Zeytun for his innovative project for individuals with hearing impairment and for enlightening our students about entrepreneurship.

Through the activities prepared by our students, the children celebrated the April 23rd National Sovereignty and Children’s Day with great enthusiasm.
