Consumer scale sign language for google pixel

this would be my favorite subject at the moment but again something about ai um and accessible technology um and um so developed globally through google deepmind the role of the sl2 sign language to text model on devices like the pixel 11 has major applications for the UK's deaf and hearing impaired communities, enabling real-time sign language translation directly inside native keyboard software.

So that's a massive breakthrough.

I think it was a few months ago I was talking about how, you know, hopefully the AI will improve in particular.

sign language um and interpretation and talks about kind of my being up having the ability to kind of have a in the corner um sign language interpreter and similar to um yeah i think um the baby's empty i don't i don't think any of them no they do i think channel four have it um for babysitting comes to mind in particular where they have like obviously sign language certain programs at the top right hand of the screen and I was thinking about why I can't kind of do that as a general thing as an add-on kind of a browser thing that you can click that on and you know you'll have that So this is kind of like that for when you're typing into the search.

So when you're using the keyboard, it's basically saying that the model will be able to have a language interpretation, which is a major thing for, you know, for deaf people and even impaired people that use sign language.

So I think it's a major breakthrough, really, and it's a good deal.

And, you know, that's, again, that's the power of AI and what's great about AI.

You know, it's the kind of thing that I'm really happy about, you know, yes, it's...

It's not stuff that I'm designed to do.

Potentially, yeah.

If it's used wrong, but again, it's about how it's used and the intention behind it.

But, you know, accessible technology, you know, the future's here and that's what we should do.

one of the positives and i think they should go further than that like obviously the suggestion they've just made that's you know if they can do that for input to the keyboard they can do that for you know as a as a um an extension web extension for anything really um you know they might free that you know you can battle with any website and or even any app Google Play Store and, you know, Microsoft do the same thing and Apple should do the same thing because it's, they can do it, you know, they can do it, you know, all you have to do is try and hire in, hire in sign language and play all would be, you know, in terms of visual impairment visual impairment probably would be slightly different but i think i talked about it before where you could potentially you know have 3d printing there must be some way of getting 3d printers for kind of some kind of um a special kind of kindle reader where like you can even have the mesh changing as the word comes up or whatever um finicky but i'm sure they can they can do that as well and this is what we you know should be should be getting from you know tectrons they've got enough money do that mean you know and pains well it's not going in tax you know it's being it should be going on accessibility um so yeah good news from google there for, you know, deaf, deaf community.

We've got a bit of a win there in accessibility, hopefully it rolls out and hopefully, you know, it's something that's not just for the Google Pixel, but other mobile devices.

manufacturers do the same thing.

Because they've all got access to the same language models.

It can be done by Google Pixel, it can be done by all of them, and then, you know, from there, they progress.

So good news.
