When Google claimed to have succeeded in developing an artificial intelligence or the term artificial intelligence (AI) on Google Translate so that this application is able to interpret or translate sign language into text or speech.
Reporting from Ubergizmo, this software that is being made by Google in theory can make it possible for people who have problems with speaking will be easier to communicate with others who do not understand sign language.
In the process of translating sign language to become text or speech using a camera on a cellphone. Furthermore, this camera phone that is connected with the Google Translate application will track all the user's hand movements and then interpret it into text or sound.
Development of AI that is being carried out by Google on sign language is inseparable from the existence of smart phones that already exist today. The existence of this smart phone can also make the AI can be taken wherever the user goes.
But even though it is now able to translate sign language, the company still feels the technology still needs further refinement.
They plan to expand this AI technology with stronger and more stable tracking, increase the number of movements that enable us to detect reliably, and can support dynamic movements that take place.
It is hoped that publishing this AI technology can provide impetus for other creative ideas and new applications from the research community and developers in general.
Reporting from The Inquirer, that Google uses a series of algorithms so that smart phones can be able to interpret this sign language using a cell phone camera. This interpretation of sign language uses a combination of detectors for the palm, also known as BlazePalm.
Like the fortune tellers, AI that is being made by Google uses 21 points on the palm of the hand to be able to interpret each sign language is converted into a text or speech.
The deaf community certainly welcomes Google's findings. However, they are still doubtful whether this software will actually be able to translate sign language more complex.
The Deaf community itself has stated that sign language is the same as spoken language. So the AI that is being created by Google is useless if this AI fails to translate the communication that takes place as a whole.
Besides Google, it turns out that similar technology is also being made by Mocrosoft. And a number of other private companies are also similarly experimenting to perfect this verbal and non-verbal communication technology.
