This thing is just Bullsh*t, Why would deaf people not be able to read the normal text on the screen?

It's an English-to-sign dictionary, Maran. It fills in the signs you don't know, or helps teach you how - for deaf users or otherwise.

Thanks for reading.

I have taken sign language classes, but due to not using it on a daily basis I have forgotten most of it. This product would be great to have for those moments when I don't remember how to sign certain words or phrases. I just wish it wasn't so expensive.

Yeah, but which sign language? I've taken classes in both American Sign Language (ASL) and Signed English, the two prevalent forms of sign in the U.S. They share some signs, but those two languages are worlds apart. Also, ASL tends to be more consistent, while Signed English can have many regional variations. I could go on and on, but this device seems like it could be problematic.

I´ve never used a translator,but by the ones that I saw,this model has more advanced technology and it´s more practice.I coincide with ANGELVAVIE about those moments in which one can´t remember a keyword.-

Being the father of a child with a profound hearing loss, and our entire family learning sign language, this and it's successors would a be a fantastic tool. Instead of lugging around ASL books, we could get the signs for things quickly and learn that much faster. Fantastic way to get older hearing family members involved. I'd be willing to bet it's based on ASL.

I have been learning American Sign Language for almost 3 years now, and have many Deaf friends. IF this so-called translator is ACCURATE in the signs it produces, it could be a helpful tool for people who do not know sign language and cannot put the time and/or effort into learning the language properly. However, it should not be relied upon in lieu of actually learning this rich, complete, and beautiful foreign language.

I wish this device had been available when my 30 year old son (who lost his hearing just before age 2) was little. An answer to MARAN wold be when son, Brian, was learning sign language himself before he was old enough to read, we could have helped the whole family to communicte with him sooner. I think it is a wonderful device and I would buy it!

This should not be used for talking to a deaf person. I would maybe use it to learn ASL, but I would use the iPhone Banner application and just let them read it. This is just another off the wall review from the dVice team. Argh!

I have a deaf daughter and while I appreciate the effort and technology that went into producing this product, it doesn't seem very practical as a communication tool. I see it only beneficial as an aid to learn ASL or brushing up on it. What would really be cool is a hand-held device that reads ASL and voices immediately...this is a step in the right direction, but my daughter and her friends now uses there mobile devices to type out messages.

Evolutionary step. If they've mastered text to sign and we already have reasonably dependable speech to text, can speech to sign be far away? Imagine the hearing challenged being able to carry this around and conduct regular conversations with shop clerks and waiters and family members and baby sitters and the world in general even on the phone!

look like sorenson vrs and bring it for my vacation and communication in International

thats sooooo cool...

What I've learned about the reading ability of the majority of Deaf (whose parents couldn't sign to them) that their literacy level can be lower than average. Having someone sign is a better way to communicate than writing/reading. However, it won't replace an interpreter for meetings and the important things. As one person put it, the language is too rich. Then again, I've never seen a perfect electronic translator regardless of the language.
