Tegucigalpa, Honduras
MIT Technology Review highlights the work and talent of Honduras Yeny Carías for inventing software that translates the human voice sign language used by deaf people in Honduras.
The draft Carias is an enormous product research, documentation and software design sponsored Unah where Carias is Professor of Systems Engineering.
The method will initially be used by university students in the Spanish class of Unah and subsequently be extended for general use.
The devised by Carias system converts the voice picked up by a microphone text, and text in a three-dimensional avatar that performs sign language LESHO. Deaf students can see the avatar on a screen and continue the lesson at the same time as their peers. “The goal is to reduce the huge communication gap with deaf to assimilate the language used by the teacher, which affects their learning students,” explained www.technologyreview.es Carias.
Five entrepreneurs
“MIT Technology Review Innovator under 35 Central” recognizes five entrepreneurs and researchers under 35 years of the brightest region.
The first Central generation of innovators under 35 will present their projects at an event to be held in San Salvador on 9 October and will bring together specialists in the world of technology and innovation.
The five winners are Antonio Navas (Guatemalan, 32 years), Arnoldo Müller (Costa, 34 years), Brayan Salazar (Honduran, 21), Juan Fermín Rodríguez (Guatemala, 31 years) and Yeni Carias (Honduras, 31 years old .)
Prizes MIT Technology Review Innovator under 35, which annually recognize young pioneers, visionaries, entrepreneurs, inventors and humanitarians worldwide, have become a reference point in discovering the emerging talent.
