ASL Translator App

Overview: An ASL translaotor app the makes communication easier for the deaf.


The Need

T2-3% of Americans (~9 million people) born with a detectable level of hearing loss. They have difficulties communicating with non-signing people. They have to always depend on written communication or interpreters and translation services not always immediately accessible

The Solution

The app will translate a small subset of important signs into English. Texts will be shown on the screen. The app will have a high (85% +) accuracy of translation and the service would be free. The app would run on modern smartphone hardware.

It would also have an iOS Software Application that would accurately and efficiently translate 12 American Sign Language (ASL) words or phrases to English on a popular platform. The app requires a smartphone camera to capture movement in a video and then it would translate output to the screen
