"Plus we plan to get in touch with Indian government, in order to know if some of the government spending on deaf people can be used to provide them with digital interpreter service, which can lead to higher employment of the deaf, and social equality," he said.ĭon’t miss out on ET Prime stories!

Working in collaboration with India Accelerator, the start-up is in touch with NAD and is gathering sign language data for India, he said. The plan, Wyhowski noted, is to have a free app, which has limited amount of phrases per month/week you can use, just enough to satisfy the basic communication needs of deaf people with low income. The cost is USD 150 per month for small businesses, and USD 450 a month for medium and large-sized businesses. Plus, you can make use of our video templates create videos for your business or personal use. You don’t need any video editing experience. It’s an all-in-one professional video-editing software that lets you create stunning videos in just minutes. The service allows the user to pay for the day, for the week, or for the whole month costing one, four and 11 US dollars respectively, according to the company. VEED lets you do so much more than just convert text to male voice. "All the translation is done by algorithms so that means we can differentiate on price as well, offering an inexpensive translation service which is handy and gives a lot of benefits to both deaf people, and businesses and service providers," Wyhowski added. "Using only camera on your device, our system provides the same services only an experienced sign language interpreter could do," he said. It just requires a camera on the device facing the signing person, and a connection to the internet, said Bondar. All the translation happens in the cloud. The pocket interpreter for the deaf relies on superior new technology: AI and neural networks. It can translate as quick as the person speaks, translate any sign language and can be plugged into many products, such as video chat applications, AI assistants, etc. Showcased in the Netherlands recently, the app can be used on multiple devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, or PCs. "By comparison, we offer a compellingly fast, easy, comfortable and economical solution," Bondar said.

He said the translation softwares in the market are either slow or expensive, or rely on old technology which does not allow scaling to another markets outside country of origin.
