People who depend on sign language to process information often require sign language interpreters. Due to limited access and availability to experienced ASL translators, ASL users are facing isolation because of their inability to communicate with the mainstream population.
HearSign eliminates the need to require a sign language interpreter by automating and facilitating two-way real time sign language translations. Our solution uses machine learning to adopt the language which maximizes productivity and allows for real time communication.
