EnableTalk Coverts Signs Language Into Spoken Words

<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/C7OUfkMlbYo?rel=0" width="420"></iframe><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/index.png?w=640" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/index.png?w=640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">For the millions of deaf people communicating is a large challenge. <a href="http://enabletalk.com/index.html">EnableTalk</a> is attempting to solve this problem with a pair of computerized gloves that recognizes <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/09/signed-stories-helps-deaf-children.html">sign language</a> and uses <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/07/kurzweil-3000-firefly-ipad-app-released.html">text-to-speech</a> to convert the signs to spoken language. Watch the above video to learn more. The prototype gloves link with a <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/02/researchers-find-faster-eyes-free.html">smart phone</a> and use a variety of sensors to recognized the signs. An app on the users smart phone then speaks the signs using <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/12/add-quick-text-to-speech-button-to.html">text-to-speech</a> so people who do not know sign language can communicate with the deaf user. The gloves could end the need for a sign language user to pass notes to non-sign language user, but the non-sign language user would still need to pass notes back to the hearing impaired person. The <a href="http://enabletalk.com/index.html">EnableTalk</a> seem promising and will hopefully be available to consumers in the near future.
