SPOTER

Unlock the power of truly accessible and diverse communication with SPOTER – the state-of-the-art automated sign language recognition system. Using AI, SPOTER converts sign language videos into text, opening the doors to direct translation apps and accessible user interfaces. True to our mission of bridging the communication gap and making sign language recognition available to all, we make our project's functionalities open-source for developers to integrate into their apps and services. Put simply, as a non-profitable research initiative first, we not only strive to produce scientific papers but also to develop actionable products that can make a real impact. SPOTER started thanks to my great research advisor and mentor, Dr. Marek Hrúz, in a small lab at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen — now it's ready to help anyone in the world.
