Slingo

Our sign language detection app helps deaf children easily communicate with other people and expand their early childhood development experience by translating sign language into English conversely.

We did it! We completed our app for the #nwHacks 2023 hackathon! After downing several cans of red bull, we’re proud to present our app, Slingo!

Slingo is a sign language detection app that helps deaf and mute children communicate with other people. Use Slingo to read sign language using the camera or type your message to get a demo of how to say it in American Sign Language. You can even translate the message into different languages!

I want to give a huge shoutout to Elmer Jr. Balbin, Saurab Sen, and Claire Simbulan because this wouldn’t have been possible without them. Moreover, I want to thank Javier Pérez for coming to support us!

The backend was built with NodeJS; hand pattern detection in Python and Tensorflow; translation with DeepL; data collection with Cheerio; and the frontend using React MUI.
