The only technology to successfully translate between signed and spoken languages

Project description

Gadget translates sign to spoken language

The deaf and hearing impaired have long struggled to equally integrate within society. Despite advancements in technology, efficient face-to-face communication has been lacking. SignAll Technology Ltd. from Budapest has developed SignAll, ushering in the first software-hardware solution in the world that enables spontaneous communication allowing for automated sign translation. It is a remarkable device with potential that could dramatically alter the lives of deaf people worldwide. According to the World Federation of the Deaf, there are approximately 70 million deaf people in the world.

Objective

Deaf people struggle in our society because of lack of technologies that can enable them to integrate in work and by using public and private services. There is a lack of human translators who can help them to overcome their barriers. Due to this unfortunately they can never achieve the same treatment as other and suffer from lower quality of life.
SignAll Technology Ltd. from Budapest develops SignAll - the first software-hardware solution in the world that enables spontaneous communication between a deaf persons and a hearing individuals via automated translation technology. SignAll Technology Ltd. has developed the first version of SignAll in the U.S. for American Sign Language (currently in pilot). Now, they want to adapt it and transfer the technology back and commercialize for European markets.
