Google DeepMind releases SL2T sign language-to-text model, first in Pixel 11 Gboard and Live Transcribe

Putting sign language AI into users’ hands

Google DeepMind released SL2T, a multilingual sign language-to-text model, bringing sign language AI into consumer products for the first time. On Pixel 11, Gboard and Live Transcribe support American Sign Language (ASL) to English dictation, with more devices and languages to follow.

Why it matters: It gives SL2T's training scale, benchmark results and privacy design, so readers can judge the real limits of sign language translation in consumer products.
