It's worth noting that movements of the mouth are extremely important in ASL (and other sign languages) and so this probably isn't as useful as it might seem at first.

Thank you for pointing this out. I overlooked this. I presume that on top of that what also could be relevant is the movements of arms, facial expressions and maybe also general body posture. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not too familiar with sign language.
Signs also tend to be expressed by the hands' position/movement in relation to _other_ body parts.

Edit: OTOH fingerspelling (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerspelling) might be a more feasible usecase!
