Our team project is a Chrome extension designed to break communication barriers for deaf users, especially deaf students. The extension provides real-time captioning and integrates gesture/sign recognition technologies to convert spoken language into on-screen text and visual cues.

Enhanced Project Description: In addition to its core functionality, our project is backed by data insights showing that many deaf students perform roughly two grade levels below their hearing peers in online learning environments. With about 40% of deaf students experiencing difficulties in following online lectures due to the absence of real-time captions, our solution aims to boost comprehension by over 30%—potentially increasing understanding from 60% to 78%.
