Google turns sign language into an input method: Pixel 11 can type while facing the camera

Comparative news, according to monitoring, Google DeepMind released the SL2T sign language to text model and connected it to Pixel 11's Gboard and Live Transcribe. The first support for American Sign Language to English is supported. Users can search, write messages, type in documents, and even ask Gemini questions directly by typing in sign language on their phones. SL2T uses over 100,000 hours of data training, covering more than 50 sign languages, about a quarter of which is American Sign Language. The phone will first extract the posture coordinates of the hands, face, and body, and only send the coordinates to the server for translation; the original video will not be uploaded.
