Abstract:
This paper introduces an innovative approach to overcoming language barriers in effective communication. Departing from conventional translation tools, the proposed solution presents a groundbreaking technology facilitating real-time translation by capturing small text portions within images. The Figure Out application, a transformative solution, stands out as a pioneer in its field, distinguishing itself by offering unmatched features. Leveraging optical text recognition from captured images, it excels in translating content into text, audio, or sign language. Notably, this technology goes beyond conventional translations, making information visually accessible to deaf individuals.
