Abstract: The Portable Edge-AI System for Real-Time American Sign Language (ASL) to Speech Translation is an assistive communication device designed to help mute and speech-impaired individuals communicate effectively with non-sign language users. The system captures ASL hand gestures using a vision-based sensor and processes them locally using an edge-computing unit integrated with artificial intelligence algorithms. The recognized gestures are converted into corresponding text and further translated into audible speech output in real time. By performing all computations on-device, the system eliminates dependency on interne connectivity, reduces latency, and ensures user privacy. The device is compact, battery-powered, and portable, enabling uninterrupted communication in daily social, educational, medical, and professional environments. This invention provides an inclusive, low-cost, and reliable solution for ridging the communication gap between mute individuals and the general population.
