SignAloud is a technology that incorporates a pair of gloves made by a group of students at University of Washington that transliterate[7] American Sign Language (ASL) into English.[8] In February 2015 Thomas Pryor, a hearing student from the University of Washington, created the first prototype for this device at Hack Arizona, a hackathon at the University of Arizona. Pryor continued to develop the invention and in October 2015, Pryor brought Navid Azodi onto the SignAloud project for marketing and help with public relations.
