How to read properly is a great challenge for hard of hearing children. Parents and teachers often do not know the sign language and little ones can’t connect the words written on the paper with their meaning. HUAWEI has tried to simplify and correct the problem with the StorySign application built into Android. Apply your phone to the children's book and application. With the help of artificial intelligence, it translates words into gestures, which will be shown on the screen by the Avatar.

Specially designed animation-application not only helps children learn reading, but also teaches the parents sign language so that communication between parents and child can be simplified and adults are able to tell stories personally to their children. The application is free and it’s not necessary to have a HUAWEI phone to download it. Currently, the application can translate 10 languages into sign language, including European languages. At this stage, each language has only 1 book adapted. In the future, a great collection of fairy tales is on the creative agenda.

Most importantly, this isn’t the only or last news regarding the HUAWEI offering. The translation application has been made using the HUAWEI Mate20 and HUAWEI Mate20 Pro, in cooperation with Microsoft company. It enables consumers to get high-quality translation material without using the Internet.
