Communication between the deaf and hearing.
Human Sign Language interpreters are not always available
on short notice. As a result, communications between the hearing and the deaf are less efficient than in each group by itself.
The Signtel Interpreter™ breaks these barriers by allowing the deaf to utilize sign language which is native to them.
The Signtel Interpreter™ is extremely valuable during emergency situations when a human Sign Language interpreter is
not available.
The Signtel Interpreter™ utilizes a combination of off-the-shelf hardware & proprietary
software to capture the hearing party's voice or inputted text and translates it into seamless sign language video and text
for the deaf on a computer screen. The deaf party can type his or her response, and a digitized voice will vocalize that message.
Internet or Word
document
When reading text or browsing the Internet,
one quickly realizes that our language has many idioms and phrases that are meaningless when translated literally. The Signtel
Interpreter™ translates the meaning behind the idioms and phrases to sign language video and enables speech reading.
Benefits
Who benefits from the Signtel Interpreter?
Corporations seeking to accommodate deaf
or hard of hearing employees.
Schools looking to improve their special
needs programs and facilities.
Children with speech disorders
Government agencies that wish to comply
with ADA and Rehabilitation Act Section 508 regulations.
Retailers who want to better serve their
deaf customers
Parents of deaf children who need to
learn sign language
ANYONE who wants to learn sign language
The Signtel Interpreter™ enables
the hearing world to tap into the talent pool of deaf and hard of hearing individuals. It also enables the deaf to significantly
enhance their business and personal lives by allowing them to communicate with the hearing.
Applications
The Signtel Interpreter™ allows
the hearing and the deaf and hard of hearing users to communicate in countless situations including:
At retail: Signtel Interpreter™
will enable clerks and salespeople to communicate with their deaf and hard of hearing patrons at the supermarket, hardware
store, library, pharmacy and any other retail environment.
In the large office: Companies that use
the Signtel Interpreter™ will enable hearing employees to communicate with their deaf and hard of hearing colleagues.
Companies may attract an untapped pool of business talent -- people who are deaf or hard of hearing who did not feel comfortable
in an environment in which they could not communicate easily with other employees.
In the small office/home office: Signtel
Interpreter™ enables deaf and hard of hearing small business owners to communicate with hearing business associates
without the use of TTY and or telephone relay, which can be time consuming, impersonal and lacking in privacy.
How it works
At the heart of the Signtel Interpreter™
is a database of more than 30,000 different recognizable words and phrases and their equivalent captured on video and digitized.
A microphone can record spoken English, and voice recognition technology can translate the words and expressed meanings into
seamless sign language video in real time. Similarly, text can be typed onto a keyboard for translation.
Please note
that the Signtel Interpreter™
is not meant to replace
a live interpreter or sign language
instructor;
it is intended to assist
in situations where a live interpreter may not be available.
