[community] Gloves that Translate ASL to Speech

[Elizabeth Mary Morris]

Yes, I agree.... This prototype is still flawed.  I am an ASL instructor.
Believe me when I say that there are lots of grammar within the face
expression and body language.  So, using the gloves will make lots of
errors without reading the face expression and body language.  Thanks for
sharing it us though.
