- Deaf signers communicating with hearing people
- Worth noticing
- The test version marks unsettled sign recognition in grey and says it writes the signs it reads rather than inventing a sentence.
Field notes
The described workflow uses a phone camera facing the signer, either during a call or with the phone between two people. The page says uncertain recognition remains grey until it settles, so the user can see what is not final and sign it again. Its current-call example has the other participant typing; spoken replies rendered as signs are described as a future capability.
