Problem

Conversation between Deaf signers and hearing people is still hard. Hands Up turns sign language into spoken language in real time, on the web and on the phone, built with the Deaf community.

Role

Details coming soon.

Approach

Version 1 is ASL to English, with Arabic and Hebrew later. Recognition runs on the device, so conversations stay private.
