A system that converts sign language gestures into text or spoken language, or vice versa, instantaneously is a vital accessibility tool. Such a system enables communication between individuals who use sign language and those who do not, eliminating a significant barrier to interaction.
The immediacy offered by this technology is crucial for effective communication in various settings, including education, employment, and emergency services. Historically, reliance on human interpreters has presented logistical and financial challenges. Automated solutions offer the potential for wider availability and reduced costs, thereby promoting inclusivity and equal opportunity.
