I’m a 10th grade student from India. My name is Shubhayu Banerjee. I’m currently working on both software and hardware solutions for the deaf. As it stands, especially in India, and around the world, hearing aids are really really expensive. Also, not everyone can use a hearing aid.
I’m currently developing glasses that can transcribe speech to text for the user to read as a Heads Up Display. The user can sign in front of the glasses, and translated text is sent to their phone.
Here’s a demonstration video!
I’m currently writing a research paper on the following, and your input is highly appreciated, as it will help guide me towards creating the technology that suits the needs for the deaf the most.
The current prototype can recognize 115 gestures (Indian Sign Language) with support being built for American Sign Language too.
I would really appreciate if you could fill out this form, so I can get to know a bit more about the community and your needs!
