Overview
CoLingo is an AI-powered communication app that helps Deaf and hearing people communicate more easily.
It translates sign language into text or speech in real time, making everyday conversations more accessible and inclusive.
Project Info
The lack of emotion awareness, emergency support, and usability in noisy or multi-speaker environments further limits effective everyday communication.
Aim
Using wearable sensors and intelligent sign language recognition, CoLingo provides a user-friendly and reliable solution for daily communication.
Primary & Secondary Reaearch
Many systems struggle with real-time accuracy and natural conversational flow because sign language is much more than just hand gestures, it includes facial expressions, body movements, and emotional tone.
Smart gloves, which are designed to translate hand signs into text or speech, can be useful for learning or basic one-way communication. However, they’re not yet effective for complex, two-way conversations. Some users may also feel uncomfortable or even monitored when wearing such devices.
