Google brings sign-language dictation to Pixel 11
Google's SL2T model brings ASL-to-English dictation to Pixel 11, while privacy safeguards and translation errors define its current limits.
Google's new SL2T model brings American Sign Language input to Gboard and Live Transcribe on Pixel 11. It treats sign language as a full translation problem, converts video into pose coordinates, and discards the raw camera feed before server-side translation. Google trained it on more than 100,000 hours across over 50 sign languages. The launch starts with ASL-to-English, while rare signs, fast fingerspelling, and tense can still cause errors. The potential audience includes an estimated 70 million Deaf and hard-of-hearing people who use sign languages. 1
