From the article:
Bioengineers at UCLA have designed a high-tech glove that can translate sign language into speech in real time through a smartphone app.
The glove contains sensors that run along the five fingers to identify each word, phrase or letter as it is made in American Sign Language.
The device then turns the finger movements into electrical signals, which are sent to a small circuit board worn on the wrist. The board transmits those signals wirelessly to a smartphone that translates them into spoken words at the rate of about one word per second.
"Our hope is that this opens up an easy way for people who use sign language to communicate directly with non-signers without needing someone else to translate for them," said Jun Chen, an assistant professor of bioengineering at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and the principal investigator on the research. "In addition, we hope it can help more people learn sign language themselves."
