Sign language 'turned into text' by Aberdeen scientists
Technology aimed at translating sign language into text is being developed by Aberdeen scientists.
The portable sign language translator (PSLT) would use the camera on devices such as laptops and phones.
An app would then translate the movements into text which can be read by people, who may not understand sign language.

IF THIS BECOMES REAL/PUBLIC….YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.
i’m kinda against this. if you want to understand me signing, learn how to sign.
Plus it’ll never work. So much of ASL is on the face. I can’t imagine technology ever figuring out how to do that part. They have signing gloves that catch the hand movements, but you need the facial expressions.

Tumblr keeps wanting to be in Japanese for me now. Hooray for Chrome’s auto-translate feature.
I’m trying to get the hang of tumblr, but it seems like there are always 8 million posts every time I come back, and I only follow 12 people…what do I do???
Why it’s (god)awful: It’s THE worst blowout I have ever seen and I’ve been following this blog for a long time
I really dislike SuicideGirls, but this makes me laugh and cry at the same time.
