The camera captures the motion image of the speaker’s hand gesture. It translates it into an oral language and gives out the translated words.
(the camera capturing the image)
You can pre-choose what kind of voice you’d like it to speak in. I’ll pick up tat of George Clooney’s.

Heyy, ran across your blog and thought this was a pretty cool idea, I really like design that’s geared towards the disabled. It’d be really cool if when the camera detected movement it would move along with your hands. I know there are some signs like thank you where you need to use your chin. Who is your audience exactly? Is it strictly for people with speaking disabilities or can you wear it because someone around you is speaking disabled and you want to communicate with them? How far back can it detect movement? I also love that it doesn’t look like the typical off white medical device, it’s a sophisticated design that doesn’t have to let everyone know you have a disability.
Cool post!
im interpreter sign language.i saw this camera with mic it very wonderful and i hope to knew more about it and the price to buy it.
Great concept. I really like how simple it is to use.
By the way, deaf people don’t “speak disabled”.
A flat shape that lays against the chest would be better for camera stability while signing.
This would reduce errors, and decrease the amount of processor power required to run the image recognition software.
Also the device could be connected by bluetooth to a smartphone in the users pocket/purse. It’s possible that some smartphones on the market now may have enough power to run the real-time image recognition software required.
If no phones currently available have enough processing power, any phone with a wi-fi connection could stream the video to a remote server to be decoded.
And finally if the output voice can be changed, it’s only a small modification to change which language it uses….
Nice post.
this sound like a cool idea, but what is the cost? how has the testing gone. where can I purchase one if i wanted to try it
its a cool idea, this means a lots to me since my uncle is deaf.
however, i suggest the Sign Language Interpreter (SLI) better applied in a reverse way. The camera is not to read the sign of opposite, but to read the sign of who wearing it.
some special sensors should be applied to the users hand in order to enhance the accuracy of sign interpretation
idea is great, n lots of rooms to further enhance the feature to different areas. gd job
If a device like this could be developed, it would probably be best accompanied by some kind of speech to text recognition as this would provide one way communication, but communication is a two way process.
