Signs
Voice technology excludes people without a voice. But that same technology has the potential to ensure equal inclusion of all humans. That’s why SS+K developed SIGNS — the first smart voice assistant for people with hearing loss worldwide. RECOGNITION D&AD Impact — Graphite Fast Company's World Changing Ideas — Honorable Mentions x3 The Webby Awards — Winner x2 The kind of excitement when SIGNS was actually understanding their sign language and was answering. This was definitely one moment I will never forget. There are over 2 billion voice-enabled devices across the globe. According to Gartner, 30% of all digital interactions are moving toward non-screen-based actions. Voice assistants are changing the way SS+K shops, search, communicate or even live. Voice technology is having life-changing implications for millions, so SS+K asked ourselves a few questions: What about those without a voice? What about those who cannot hear? And considering that around 466 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss, how can they leverage the positive side of tech as a means to make this world more inclusive and participatory? SS+K may not have all the answers, but that didn’t stop them in developing SIGNS — an innovative smart tool that recognizes and translates sign language in real-time and then communicates directly with a selected voice assistant service. This innovative solution allows people to utilize all the functionality of a voice assistant through hand movements, bridging an important accessibility gap between deaf people and voice technology. SIGNS is based on a machine learning framework and uses AI to decode the complexity of sign language. The integrated camera recognizes facial muscles, hands and movements as 4D data. And it works on any browser-based operating system with an integrated camera. How’s the weather tomorrow? Change lights to blue. Find an Italian restaurant. Just speak with your hands, and SIGNS will answer. The importance of digital accessibility is on the rise. What started as a social project for the German Youth Association for People with Hearing Loss has now become a globally sought-after tech innovation. SIGNS created awareness for inclusion in the digital age as well as facilitated access to new technologies. Never before has there been a sign language assistant of this quality — one that has the prospect of becoming a worldwide platform and can easily be accessible from all over the world, learning new signs and sign languages. The goal is to make SIGNS available on all assistants and to all hearing-impaired people. And like audio voice assistants, SIGNS is continuously under further development in order to keep improving the accuracy and reliability of the system. https://www.ssk.com/#work
