Emot is a product that interprets sign language and the voice of people so that they can communicate smoothly even when their mouths are covered or the other person does not know the sign language. It visually shows the pitch of the sound so that they can recognize subtle emotional differences that change depending on the hearing element. In addition, through voice emotion analysis, intuitive emotional emoticons similar to the other person's emotions are displayed together. While most products that help deaf people translate sign language or convert voice information into text, Emot has a clear difference from other products in that it intuitively expresses emotions. Using voice emotion recognition AI technology and sign language recognition technology, we focused on expressing each other's emotions in conversation situations. In addition, Emot minimized the recognition that it is an object used by the deaf with its simple and casual form. Orange color create a bright atmosphere and give a lively impression through emoticons that express emotions well in conversation. It is designed to help deaf and hearing people communicate with each other more authentically and deeply, breaking down the communication barriers between them and the rest of the world.
