MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641062305 A) filed by Srm Institute Of Science And Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on May 16, for 'a system and a method for multilingual text and speech to sign language conversion.'
Inventor(s) include Niteesh L; Vishal K R; and M Suganiya.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed is an invention relating to a computer-implemented system (100) for multilingual text and speech to sign language conversion. The system (100) comprises an input acquisition module (102) configured to receive text and/or speech input, and a speech-to-text processing module (104) configured to convert speech into text. A multilingual translation module (106) translates input into a predefined processing language. A natural language processing engine (108) performs tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, and grammatical restructuring into sign language syntax, while a context and tense processing module (110) injects temporal markers. A sign mapping module (112) retrieves corresponding animation assets from a sign media repository (120). A fall-back generation module (114) decomposes tokens lacking assets into character-level representations. An animation sequencing engine (116) generates a synchronized sequence, and a rendering module (118) outputs the sequence via an output interface module (122), ensuring continuous and coherent sign language communication."
