This invention is the perfect item to communicate fluently! The first option is the Sign To Text button. When the webcam is clicked (1), the Sign Translator records the person's signs. Subsequently, the text gets displayed in the box (2). There's also a Text/Mic to Sign feature. There's a microphone (3), which when clicked, records what the user is saying. When the microphone is clicked once more, The Sign Translator displays the statements recorded in a box (4). This is the step where the user can confirm the text. If the user is not comfortable/cannot speak, they can use the keyboard (5). There is a data tube (6) which connects the keyboard to the rest of the Sign Translator. There is also a Braille option (7)! When clicked, all the letters on the keys transform into the Braille alphabet. This increases the accessibility of The Sign Translator. There is also a Language Button (8). When clicked, a board slides out (9) with over 7,000 languages. It is connected with a tube (10). The keyboard itself, is stored in a box (11). Back to the Text/Mic To Sign feature! Once the user has inputted the message, they can click the play button (12). Then, the sign language equivalent is displayed on the screen (13). The most interesting thing is that it is also an app (14 & 15)! Every feature is displayed.

Fantastic picture Diya! What extensive work! A sign translator would really help communication for those who use sign language. Using your invention, they wouldn't encounter barriers if someone doesn't know sign language. You have included lots of ways to use The Sign Translator, which is even more helpful. You have done a fantastic job Diya, keep it up!
