Episode 146: S2E8: Katherine Stevo, AI for Translating American Sign Language (ASL)

The typical translation devices for people who use ASL are gloves that aren't very accurate. The gloves tend to be inaccurate because the translation doesn't only come from peoples' hand gestures, it also comes from their body language, but the gloves don't account for that. However, the even bigger issue with these gloves is that many people can't afford them. Each glove is around $1,500. Katheriene helped create a translation device for people who use ASL. Katherine was part of the Rising Stars session at the Applied AI Summit in San Francisco, and we will be hosting similar sessions in London this September.
