Michael Johnson, right, a mechanical engineering student, demonstrates technology to Yvette Chirenje at the Sign Language to Text exhibit in Fireside Lounge in the NTID Zone. ASL to Text attempts to bridge the gap between the deaf and hearing communities by creating a system of automatic interpretation of sign language. Although many different technologies exist for transcribing voice to text, only a few transcribe sign language to text. (Photo by: Paula Ospina)
