Advanced software tool that translates sign language to text, focused on identifying and converting full sentences and not only single words or letters. 

This tool has a significant impact on inclusion and accessibility, as it allows persons with a hearing disability to communicate more fluently with persons who do not understand sign language. This is vital in education, emergency services, and many areas of daily life.

It uses artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and deep learning to identify and process sign language, translating it to written text in real time. This allows for full sentences instead of being limited to words or isolated signs, which represents a major breakthrough compared to current systems.
