Holistic landmarks
21 hand × 2, 33 body, and 468 face points per frame from MediaPipe Holistic, fused into a single feature record.
BridgeTalk fuses hand tracking, body pose, and facial landmarks to recognize location-anchored signs — touching the chin for thank you, the chest for me, the ear for hear. Real signing is more than gestures in the air; we read where the hand meets the body.
21 hand × 2, 33 body, and 468 face points per frame from MediaPipe Holistic, fused into a single feature record.
Chin, forehead, mouth, nose, ears, cheeks, temples, chest, shoulders, neutral space, lap. Sized to each person's face width.
Proximity with dwell tracking. Distinguishes a sustained touch from an accidental pass-through.
Location, motion, and shape signs combined: thank you, eat, hear, think, sorry, me, you, plus numbers and fingerspelling fallback.
Auto-spaced output with capitalization, punctuation, undo and clear. Read aloud with the device's best voice. History saved locally.
No server uploads, no tracking. An optional account just stores your name locally. Everything runs in your browser — hand tracking via MediaPipe and the alphabet model via ONNX runtime, with no backend.
.Settings panel lets you adjust confidence, hold-time, cooldown, overlay layers, TTS speed, and audio feedback live.
The alphabet model is a small RandomForest. Train it on real keypoint data with one script and drop the
pickle into models/.
This is a real recognition engine, not a research demo of full sign-language translation. There is no pretrained, browser-ready model in 2026 that recognizes general ASL or PSL conversation — the state of the art needs server-side GPUs and still tops out around 60–70% on a few thousand isolated signs.
What you get here: ~90 signs that work reliably because their multimodal signature (handshape × location × motion) is unambiguous. .
