Lighter: These smart glasses complete

SilentTalk

Faire: Tashkent

Maker: SilentTalk

Home: Chuy, Kyrgyzstan

The goal is to recognize and translate sign language into text to facilitate communication between people who use sign language and those who do not understand it. What it solves: Overcomes the language barrier between deaf/hard-of-hearing and hearing individuals. Enables sign language users to participate in everyday digital communication. Supports sectors such as education, customer service, and healthcare where understanding gestures is critical. Additional Features: The project will also include custom user gestures; for example, a single gesture to open YouTube or other apps. This expands functionality and turns SilentTalk into a convenient gesture-based computer control tool, even for general users.
