Connecting Hands, Bridging Voices
Team: Level UP
Project Details
Project Description: "Connecting Hands, Bridging Voices" is an AI-powered communication tool designed to support the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. The project uses artificial intelligence to translate sign language into text or speech and can also convert spoken words into written text. This helps make communication easier between deaf individuals and the hearing community in everyday situations like school, hospitals, or public spaces.
The project fits under the Good Health and Wellbeing category because it promotes mental and emotional wellbeing by reducing isolation and improving social interaction. It ensures that everyone has the opportunity to express themselves and feel included, which is essential for good mental health. By supporting accessible communication, the project also helps people access services like healthcare and education more effectively. In short, it’s a step toward a more inclusive and healthier society where every voice — spoken or signed — is heard and valued.
