Tech company NVIDIA has created a new free AI tool to help people learn American Sign Language (ASL). The tool, called Signs, was launched on Thursday to make ASL learning easier and more accessible.
Why It Matters
ASL is the third most used language in the U.S., but there are few resources for people who want to learn it. NVIDIA’s AI-powered tool aims to fix this by making learning more interactive and engaging.
How Signs Works
Signs uses machine learning and computer vision to help users practice ASL. It offers a library of signs, reviewed by fluent ASL users to ensure accuracy.
- Users can try different signs.
- The AI watches their movements and gives real-time feedback.
- Advanced signers can submit videos to help expand the sign library.
NVIDIA wants to build a huge collection of 400,000 videos covering 1,000 ASL words, making this a powerful learning tool.
A Game-Changer for ASL Learners
Many deaf children are born to hearing parents, making early sign language learning very important. Signs offers families an easy and free way to start learning ASL.
What’s Next?
Signs is now available for users. As more people join and submit videos, the database will grow, making ASL learning even better.
This AI-powered tool could revolutionize sign language education, making it as easy as learning a spoken language.
