About this episode
Google DeepMind's Sign Language to Text (SL2T) translates sign language into text on-device, preserving privacy by discarding raw video and sending only geometric landmarks for translation. It’s trained on 100k+ hours across 50 sign languages, handling left-handed and one-handed signing, built with Deaf communities. Now available on Pixel 11 for American Sign Language to English, powering Gboard and Live Transcripts, signaling a major leap toward universal accessibility and the future of nonverbal communication.
