Gloves Turn Sign Language Into Speech

Gloves Turn Sign Language Into Speech

What a brilliant idea! A group of Ukrainian students have invented a sensory gloves that work with an app to turn sign language into automated speech. The Enable Talk project won first place ($25,000 grand prize) at Microsoft’s Imagine Cup 2012 this week in Sydney, Australia.

Gloves Turn Sign Language Into Speech

Students on the winning Team QuadSquad — Anton Stepanov, Anton Posternikov, and Maxim Osika — beat out 350 students from 75 countries for the gold. Their Enable Talk glove that allows deaf and hearing-impaired individuals the ability to communicate with those who don’t know sign language.

The glove picks up the hand gestures and the Enable Talk smartphone app translates the data. The app is wirelessly connected through Bluetooth technology. The team uses Microsoft’s Speech and Bing APIs to translate and play what’s been signed.

The contest’s cash prize of $25,000 will cover more than half of the $40,000 needed to start pre-production. Costs will cover software development and system testing. The current product prototype retails around $50. In the short future Enable Talk will probably cost around $20 each.

Samsung Sends Protesters to Apple Store

An Australian blogger was shopping at the Apple Store in Sydney, when a black bus with a “Wake up” sign pulled infront of him while leaving the store. A group of protesters came out of the bus holding placards decorated with the same message. Apparently it looks like a flashmob teasing ad for Apple custumers to wake up.

The Australian blog Mumbrella did some research and traced the campaign back to an agency called Tongue. The agency is behind the ‘Wake Up’ campaign website, that displays a JavaScript count down of the mystery product. According to Mumbrella believes the count down could be the number of seconds for the launch of the Next Galaxy smartphone, which is due to be unveiled on May 3rd.
