A browser-based communication aid that recognizes ASL fingerspelling and signs a user teaches it, then speaks the transcript and captions replies.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-05 issue.

For: Deaf and hard-of-hearing people communicating through signs
Worth noticing: Video stays on the device, but recognized text is sent to Gemini and ElevenLabs; J and Z require taught motion signs.

Field notes

The interface provides controls for mirrored-hand corrections, hand-geometry checks, confidence threshold, hold time, and restricting which letters are recognized. Its stated privacy boundary keeps camera video on the device, while recognized text goes to Gemini for a best guess and sentences go to ElevenLabs for voice output.
