The system is capable of capturing a given conversation from both sides: a deaf person who is showing signs and a person who is speaking. Visual signs are converted to written and spoken translation rendered in real-time while spoken words are turned into accurate visual signs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Very cool work by Microsoft Research into sign language recognition technology. If it pans out, it could be a fantastic tool for the Deaf community.
