Sign language translation

The automatic conversion of sign language video into written or spoken language text using machine learning. Unlike sign language recognition, which identifies individual signs or glosses, sign language translation produces fluent natural language output that accounts for the distinct grammar and spatial structure of sign languages. SLT is a key assistive technology for bridging communication barriers between Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals and hearing people, with applications in live captioning, video calls, and media accessibility.
