With Google’s TensorFlow deep learning software library running on an Apple laptop, Abhishek Singh taught Amazon Echo to read sign language.

 

“If voice is the future of computing, what about those who cannot speak?”

My take: Like the first responders on YouTube, I loved this. The very first commenter suggested Singh build Alexa on the computer and bypass Echo entirely.

Thanks to friend-of-the-blog Richard Wanderman for the pointer.
