Built at MetroHacks DFW 2023, this project translates spoken and written English into American Sign Language. A speech-recognition front end converts voice to text, and the pipeline renders the corresponding ASL glosses so a deaf or hard-of-hearing reader can follow along in real time.

The team shipped a working end-to-end demo during the hackathon and placed 2nd overall. The Python backend handles recognition and translation while the JavaScript front end plays back the sign renderings.
