Description

Our vision is to solve the challenge of automatic sign language translation by using Artificial Intelligence (AI). We will do this by creating an AI platform that uses neural networks and deep learning to: Provide anonymization, consistency, and reliability to sign language interpretation • Generate sign language from text/voice. • Detect and understand sign language and translate to text/voice • Develop an interactive and dynamic product Our mission is to open the world for Deaf people, meaning Deaf people can communicate freely and easily with hearing people and provide access to information where none currently exists. This will be far safer, quicker, and cheaper than the current provision, meeting the UK and the EU Governments’ Green agenda. The initial brief of the executive will be to: Phase (1) Produce a viable 5-year business plan, finance strategy and pitch pack Phase (2) Act for the company in the spin-out legal process and address all company formation matters Phase (3) Create an investment strategy and bring in the first £100k. Phase (4) Get 2 use cases up and running, with support from a freelance product manager. These will be either Network Rail, Lloyds bank, Finnish or Swiss broadcast companies or ASDA.
