"Given how much society has advanced technologically, the fact that there still
isn't enough attention given to making communication more accessible for the
deaf community is inexcusable. One of our teammates spoke of his first-hand
experience with this issue, as his grandfather is a deaf individual who
communicates primarily through sign language and visual cues. That's when we
had the idea of automating translation to sign language, similar to closed
captions on videos. As a result, we have created SignWave, an accessible and
convenient translator from English to American Sign Language (ASL).
SignWave can take two types of input: audio files and text. If an audio file is
given, SignWave produces a transcript of the words spoken in the audio file. If
a text input is given and presents an animation of the transcript in sign
language and continues to the next step. When a text input is given, the
process is bypassed and the program produces an animation of the text in sign
language. While useful as a sign language equivalent of closed captions,
SignWave also extends as an educational tool. Those looking to learn sign
language can use SignWave to teach themselves how to sign various phrases using
both the speech-to-sign and text-to-sign functionalities."
