AI Sign Language LLM (SL-LLM) for the Global Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Community Backed by @YZiLabs (Part of @EASYResidency S2)
Hi 一姐，非常有共鸣。🙏 其实还有一部分用户，很难完整享受到币安带来的便捷体验。他们听不到声音，甚至阅读文字也存在巨大障碍——因为对全球 7000 万听障人士而言，自然语言并非母语，手语才是。 无论是在中国、新加坡、美国还是中东，因为语言的隔阂，他们往往活成了一座座无声的孤岛，获取知识这样的基础权利，对于他们来说却是障碍重重。Web3 的巨变，对于他们是一片寂静。 我们是 FingerDance（来自 @EASYResidency Season 2）。我们一直在想：传统的无障碍设施往往是在让特殊群体『滞后地』跟上社会；但 Binance 作为未来的基础设施，若能原生支持手语交互，那就是在让这 7000 万人『同步地』与世界连接——不落下任何一个人。 👇 这是我们的实时手语翻译 Demo，希望能让世界更平权。
@mk66623 binance.com/en/blog/ecosys… 我们3年前做了视障的支持，谢谢提醒，听障不影响用户操作，我们也对老年人加强合规审核，并且提供遗嘱功能。 @yingbinance 币安广场内容作者一位。
70M+ Deaf people rely on sign language, but human interpreters can’t meet global demand. @FingerDanceSG uses AI to deliver real-time sign language translation — scalable, affordable, and available 24/7. Built by AI researchers from UPenn, PKU, and NUS with deep community experience. Catch Enzo Xu at EASY Residency S2 Demo Day
I studied speech and hearing science in undergrad. I’ve seen a wave of speech-based AI companies raising, which are awesome. But, how often do we think about the other side of the equation: people with hearing loss. Globally more than 1.5 billion people live with hearing loss, and about 430 million have disabling hearing impairment. Meanwhile the global hearing-aids market hit roughly US$ 8.3 billion in 2024, and is forecast to grow toward US$ 14–15.5 billion by the early 2030s. That means billions of people, many in underserved markets, potentially stand to benefit from better hearing support and speech-oriented technologies. If you’re building or investing in speech-AI, this isn’t just about voice interfaces. There’s a huge and growing opportunity in accessibility, inclusion and assistive-hearing.
Dear, Of course, I would love to share more. During our last visit sharing Giggle Academy with the children, we encountered a child who was mute. It was heartbreaking to see him unable to interact with the voice command feature. I know there is already an in-app skip voice command option, but I hope there could be a feature that, when enabled, allows typing instead of speaking so that children like him can also participate. In addition, to make the app more inclusive, I suggest adding a Color Blind Mode, which many well-known apps like Microsoft Office and Google Docs already support. Providing alternative color schemes (e.g., for red-green or blue-yellow color blindness) and offering patterns or text indicators alongside colors can greatly improve accessibility and user experience. Since about 8% of boys and 0.5% of girls are color blind, this feature would be especially meaningful for children, ensuring that no user is excluded because of color vision differences. Thank you, Giggle Academy, for your commitment to creating inclusive and accessible learning experiences for all children.
Following on from the success of its first iteration, Etihad Rail concluded the second Global Rail Innovation Awards at Global Rail 2025 by awarding three winners for their innovative concepts. The Awards serve as an international platform to discover and accelerate high-potential innovations in rail, logistics and infrastructure, with a AED 1 million grant dedicated to bringing these ideas closer to market. The competition attracted over 240 submissions from across the world, providing a unique insight to the next generation of transport. Finalists were invited to showcase their projects during Global Rail 2025, highlighting the international nature of the UAE’s role as a convenor for innovation. #EtihadRail #GlobalRail #InnovationAward
