| contents | This paper introduces an open-source interface for American Sign Language fingerspell recognition and semantic pose retrieval, aimed to serve as a stepping stone towards more advanced sign language translation systems. Utilizing a combination of convolutional neural networks and pose estimation models, the interface provides two modular components: a recognition module for translating ASL fingerspelling into spoken English and a production module for converting spoken English into ASL pose sequences. The system is designed to be highly accessible, user-friendly, and capable of functioning in real-time under varying environmental conditions like backgrounds, lighting, skin tones, and hand sizes. We discuss the technical details of the model architecture, application in the wild, as well as potential future enhancements for real-world consumer applications. |
