SignBridge v1.0.0 — Sign Language to Speech

SignBridge v1.0.0

The first public release of SignBridge — an AI-powered app that watches
hand signs through a webcam, recognises whole words, builds them into a
sentence, and speaks it out loud automatically.

📥 How to use this release

1. Download SignBridge_v1.0_windows.zip below.
2. Extract the entire zip to a folder of your choice.
3. Open the extracted folder and double-click SignBridge.exe.
4. If Windows shows a "Windows protected your PC" warning, click
   More info → Run anyway (this is expected for an unsigned
   hobby/student project).
5. Allow the camera permission prompt when asked.

⚠️ Keep all the files in the extracted folder together — don't move
SignBridge.exe out on its own.

✨ Features

• Live webcam-based hand sign recognition (whole words, not letters)
• Automatic sentence building with auto-spacing
• Automatic + manual ("Speak") voice output, fully offline
• Mute/Unmute, Power On/Off, Copy, Add Space, Backspace controls
• Live "Building Word" preview before a sign is confirmed
• Fully responsive, fullscreen-ready interface

⚠️ Note on accuracy

This release ships with a small demo vocabulary (10 words: hello, thanks,
yes, no, please, help, water, food, stop, love). Recognition accuracy
depends on the quality/quantity of training data — see the README's
"For Contributors" section if you'd like to help improve it.

🖥️ Requirements

Windows 10/11. No Python installation needed for this packaged release.
