The problem SignWave solves

1. Our goal is to create a platform that promotes inclusive communication.
2. Our platform is designed to enable people with hearing, visual, or speech impairments to communicate freely, providing them with a sense of independence and empowerment.
3. We understand that different impairments require different functionalities, and we aim to provide a one-stop platform that caters to all.
4. Our platform offers real-time speech-to-sign language conversion for those with hearing disabilities, sign language-to-speech conversion for those with speech disabilities, and text-to-speech conversion for those with visual disabilities.
5. By providing a comprehensive suite of communication tools, we hope to bridge the gap between different abilities and enable all individuals to communicate effectively and confidently.

Challenges we ran into

1. Due to the significant variations in sign language across the world, our platform is currently limited to a regional context and cannot be expanded on a global scale. We are focusing on developing our platform to cater to the sign language used in our region and providing the best possible service to our users.
2. Training the tool to accurately interpret and translate sign language is challenging due to the limited availability of data. However, we are constantly working on improving the accuracy of our platform by incorporating advanced machine learning algorithms and techniques.
3. Real-time translation of speech to sign language requires high-speed processing, which is a significant challenge. However, we are investing in advanced technologies to optimize the speed of generating sign language and to minimize any delays in communication.
