According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Wearable AI System for Real-Time Speech-to-Sign Language Translation and Display This invention describes an AI-driven wearable communication device designed to translate spoken language into sign language in real time, without reliance on external connectivity. The system integrates local speech recognition, gesture mapping, and an animated digital avatar display within a compact, ergonomic form factor. Upon detecting spoken input, the device transcribes the speech into text and dynamically renders corresponding sign language gestures via an on-screen avatar, enabling seamless and inclusive communication for hearing-impaired users. Operating entirely offline, the invention ensures low-latency performance, privacy, and accessibility across diverse environments. The wearable is optimized for continuous daily use, supporting contextual adaptability, multilingual inputs, and naturalistic gesture visualization. This invention addresses the limitations of interpreter-dependent or cloud-based solutions and offers a self-contained, user-centric approach to real-time assistive communication."
