Are you going to add a real human, a deepfake human or a stick xkcd-like graphic? (is the last option possible?)

Do you have some proof of concept video?

Thanks for your question. We're currently in the prototyping phase, trying to figure out if there's a real need for this product. We're able to simplify the process by using real human experts, which makes it easy and convenient for agencies or film makers. They just have to upload their video and we're taking care of the rest.

What do you think is the biggest problem currently? Because I really want to learn more about this and see if it's a real problem for a broader audience so that we can help even more deaf people. Especially with new technology solutions.

What is the source of the 700 millions number? Is that the global total? It can be a problem because each country has a different sign language.

Yes, that is the total number (World Health Organisation) of people who are deaf or have hearing problems worldwide.

And yes there are lots of different languages, which can make it hard to translate things digitally.
