Talksign Launches AI Model Translating Sign Language to Speech
Talksign, a Nigeria and UK-based AI research company, launched its first foundation model for sign language understanding on Monday. The Talksign-1 model converts American Sign Language (ASL) to speech and text in under 100 milliseconds through webcam input, while also translating spoken or typed words into sign language video sequences. It recognizes 250 ASL signs and works bidirectionally, though it currently supports only isolated signs rather than continuous conversations or fingerspelling.
