E-nterpreters is an AI bot that translates sign language conversations that occur in Discord, the world’s largest online gamer interaction platform, in real time. Partnered with Cyrcis’ technological labs, we summoned deaf gamers in order to learn gamer sign language so we could consolidate it into a universal language; creating specific translations for actions that didn’t have one yet.

Powered by Google’s artificial intelligence, bots listen to the conversations and translate them through avatars. An algorithm recognizes each player’s voice and translates it in the order they’re speaking. The goal is to transform the way deaf people communicate in the gaming world, by connecting them with gamers that are able to hear. An innovation that took 10 months of development and was certified by Discord as an official bot within the platform.

E-nterpreters is a bot that translates users’ conversations within Discord to sign language in real time. To achieve this, we integrated Google’s “speech to text” to our algorithm in order to convert texts into visual responses in any online game supported by this platform.

Currently, E-nterpreters is a bot verified by Discord, which allows us to start learning new languages in the medium term. For this, we plan to focus on the languages with the largest number of users (English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean), thus, accelerating the learning process.

E-nterpreters is an open source in development that’s looking forward to continuing with the inclusion of more signs and continuing the learning of more translations in real time.
