UK Researchers Plan Mobile Real-Time Sign Language Translation App
With real-time translation of text common on the web and instantaneous speech-to-text gaining popularity, it seems that transliteration is cool again. But less obvious, and more difficult, methods of input are yet to be implemented. Case in point: sign language. The complicated and often contextual gestures form a vast visual vocabulary that isn't easily captured or interpreted.A team of British researchers, however, is making the attempt, creating a tool that translates a set of standard signs into readable text, in real time. It's called the Portable Sign language Translator, and it should be out next year.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/7byDxcyvqNI/
