Putting sign language AI into users’ hands
Article image or reusable cover for Google DeepMind
Google DeepMind has developed SL2T, an AI model that translates sign language into text.
The model is trained on over 100,000 hours of data from more than 50 sign languages and now functions in Gboard and Live Transcribe on Pixel 11 phones, starting with American Sign Language (ASL). Unlike previous attempts, SL2T understands sign language as fully independent languages with their own grammar, not just English on hands. The system tracks body movements through an on-device model and only sends coordinates to the server to protect user privacy.
SL2T powers sign-to-text dictation in Gboard and Live Transcribe on Pixel 11, starting with American Sign Language (ASL) to English.
