Two researchers are seated in front of monitors displaying a virtual avatar using sign language. The workspace reflects their development of a real-time sign language translation app.

Researchers at the University of Alicante (UA) have developed and patented the world’s first real-time sign language translation app. This innovative app can convert sign language into text and spoken language instantly, enhancing communication for the deaf and hard of hearing community. The UA team used advanced artificial intelligence and computer vision technology to create a tool that can recognize and translate a wide range of sign language gestures with high accuracy.

This groundbreaking app is a major step forward in accessibility and inclusivity, offering real-time translation to bridge the communication gap for individuals with hearing impairments. The UA researchers aim to further improve the app’s capabilities and expand its usage globally.
