SLT (Sign Language Technology)

Sign Language Technology (SLT) refers to tools and systems designed to recognize, interpret, and generate sign language using computers and digital devices. This includes applications like sign language recognition software, translation apps, and gesture-based interfaces that convert hand movements and facial expressions into spoken or written language. SLT aims to improve communication accessibility for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, enabling smoother interactions with hearing individuals and digital devices. It combines fields like computer vision, machine learning, and linguistic research to understand and facilitate sign language in everyday technology.
