SpeakLiz


Description

SpeakLiz is an Artificial Intelligence app that helps the world’s 470 million deaf people communicate by interpreting sign language for those that cannot speak it. SpeakLiz is a powerful Artificial Intelligence communication tool, it has been designed as a complete solution for the worldwide deaf community. Think of it as the next step in the evolution of Sign Language. While the sign language allows the deaf to communicate with only those who understand it, SpeakLiz allows them to communicate more efficiently and fluidly with just about everyone.

SpeakLiz transforms the voices of people into texts and converts texts, including emoticons, into words. It also analyzes the environment to warn the user and helps to understand sign language.

This initiative was created by the Ecuadorian entrepreneurship team called Talov as a solution and alternative for people with hearing disabilities.
