A fully automated sign language interpreter
How does it work?
In 2022, humAId will introduce the world's first fully automated sign language interpreter for the hearing impaired. With the use of cutting-edge AI technology and computer vision, they can provide a quality of life tool for everyone who has severe hearing loss. Their service offers real-time translation for signing and text translation into sign language!
Why is it needed?
All sign language interpretation in Denmark is supported by the state, and there is a great shortage of interpreters. humAId can help with the great shortage of interpreters and be a cheaper alternative to expensive interpreting lessons.
How does it improve life?
humAId believes in making the world a better place, through the use of AI.
They're currently developing a sign language translation service enabling people with hearing loss to no longer be limited by their sign language.
