It’s a sign: A Kenyan engineer built what’s basically Google Translate for sign language. His app, Terp 360, listens to speech and uses AI-powered 3D avatars to sign in real time. It’s built with motion-capture tech (sensors track actual signers’ movements), and it already knows thousands of words. I’ve always wanted to learn ASL. 

🗣️ Going on vacay? AirPods Pro 3 can translate conversations in real time, so you can understand someone speaking another language. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri and toggle it on. Then open the Translate app, tap Live > Set Up Live Translation, choose the languages and press Start Translation.

📚 Translate text on Kindle: Tap and hold on a word to translate it, or drag the sliders to highlight a full passage. In the pop-up menu, slide left until you see Translation. At the top, set the languages (e.g., From Japanese to English) and voila, you’ve got instant descriptions.

SpellRing can translate sign language: This is something. Researchers developed a ring for your thumb, and as you sign, it sends out sound waves. A microphone picks them up, AI analyzes them and gestures become letters on a screen. It’s already 82% to 92% accurate.
