Deaf and hearing-impaired individuals face significant communication barriers in education, workplaces, healthcare, and daily interactions. Current solutions, such as interpreters and transcription tools, are often inaccessible, impractical, or expensive, leaving millions excluded from meaningful participation in society. COGEN offers a transformative solution with its AI-powered platform, providing real-time bidirectional translation between speech and sign language. Powered by cutting-edge technologies like NLP, speech recognition, and computer vision, COGEN features expressive 3D avatars replicating sign language gestures, accurate subtitles, and seamless integration with platforms like Zoom and phone systems. Our target audience includes Deaf and hearing individuals, educational institutions, healthcare providers, and businesses striving for inclusivity. Unique features, such as a lifelike avatar and cross-platform compatibility, make COGEN a natural, engaging, and versatile tool. The name COGEN honors my grandfather’s building company and is reimagined as an abbreviation for Cognitive Generation, symbolizing our mission to build a future of universal communication.
