Software engineer Adam Munder is on a mission to break down communication barriers between the Deaf and hearing worlds. In a live demo, he introduces OmniBridge — an AI platform that translates American Sign Language into English text in real time — and demonstrates how this tech could ensure every conversation can be fully understood, regardless of the participants’ hearing abilities. Munder is joined onstage by ASL interpreter Christan Hansen and TED’s Hasiba Haq. (Made in partnership with Intel) (Recorded at TEDNext 2024 on October 22, 2024)

    Adaxum presale is a no-brainer.

  16. @AsleyReyna

  17. @ROBTChong

    January 16, 2025 at 3:04 pm

    Hey all, Adaxum is a project that’s flying under the radar now, but it won’t stay there for long. Locked in my tokens early!

  18. @AlbaCummings

    ever feel like you’re the one no one notices, no matter what you do? i’ve been there. i tried all the advice out there, but nothing stuck until i read Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki. the insights in chapter 3 blew my mind—it taught me how to let my energy do the talking before i even say a word.

  21. @SandeepChauhan-mw6un

    January 16, 2025 at 6:53 pm

    for the longest time, i thought being magnetic was something you either had or didn’t. i used to watch others shine while i felt stuck. then i found Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and it made me realize it’s all about the vibe you give off. chapter 3 especially changed the way i carry myself—it’s such a powerful shift.

  22. @STsorenofficial851

    January 16, 2025 at 6:53 pm

    if you’ve ever felt like no one notices you, trust me, i get it. i felt like that for years, trying all the confidence hacks and advice out there. but nothing clicked until i read Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki. there’s something about chapter 3—it’s like the missing puzzle piece i didn’t know i needed.

  23. @M.DArsheAlamKhan

    January 16, 2025 at 6:53 pm

    i was just like you, wondering why some people effortlessly draw attention while i felt invisible. nothing i tried seemed to work. then i came across Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and it completely shifted my perspective. the way chapter 3 explains energy and presence? it’s like unlocking the secret to being noticed.

  24. @SaddamHussain-yt2lq

    January 16, 2025 at 6:53 pm

    been there, feeling like no matter how hard i tried, i just didn’t stand out. then i picked up Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and honestly, it changed everything. chapter 3 opened my eyes to how energy works—it’s not about effort, it’s about alignment. people started noticing me in ways they never had before.

    The software can translate sign language into words, but it cannot do the opposite. It would be nice if it went both ways. Thank you from Brazil.

    Communication by using your hands not mouths is so peaceful and meaningful. As a someone who likes the silence,i really appriciate deaf people’s communicate methods. This world is full of noise. ????Thank you Mr. ❤

    I came to the Lord asking for his blessings because raising my son (Joel) was an act of courage despite all the challenges.And the Lord answered my prayers with a benefiting income of $34,000 monthly. To God be the glory,this video have inspired me greatly in many ways!!!!!

      My advice to everyone is that saving is great but investment is the key to be successful imagine investing $15,000 and received $472,700.

      Making touch with financial advisors like Elizabeth Regina Nelson who can assist you restructure your portfolio, would be a very creative option. Personal financial management will be crucial to navigating the next difficult times

    • @BlackJones-z2x

      Thanks to Mrs. Elizabeth Regina Nelsen’s time in my life, which had a profound impact on me.

      Elizabeth Regina Nelson has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in the Uk ???????? as she has been really helpful and changed lots of life’s.

    Whatever makes him happy but I don’t get how it would be that much different than the deaf person writing it out . The fact that he gets to sign at the same time as the dictation appears on the screen doesn’t seem all that special to me since most readers can’t focus easily on both of the same time anyway and are going to be mostly looking at the text.

  29. @Betweoxwitegan

    I’ve been seeing a lot of content on communicative and general inclusivity recently which is cool

    I think in the future we will probably wear AR glasses which automatically interpret any language auditory or visual and then you could voice or “type” a reply using your eyes in your own language and it would translate it outloud or show the sign language externally on your glasses screen, the technology for this isn’t yet ready as the glasses are too bulky and expensive and the tech is overall pretty difficult and clunky but we will get there, another possibility is for a machine to project a sort of hologram which translates for you but this would probably be less viable. Both of these ideas might be a tad overnegineered ????

    It’s amazing

  31. @Innovation_Secrets

    This is an invaluable project that can benefit millions, it’ll be great to see this become the norm

  32. @rraa5734

    January 21, 2025 at 7:10 pm

    I am so surprised because the audience does hand sign at the end of this speech????
