Mr. Nguyen Quang Duc officially became the first member of the URA research group to be granted an exclusive patent by the Vietnam Intellectual Property Office, recognizing his invention titled “Real-time Sign Language-to-Text and Speech Conversion System”.
This cutting-edge system leverages state-of-the-art technology to convert Vietnamese sign language into text and speech in real-time, offering high accuracy and fast response times. Developed to support individuals with hearing impairments, the system combines image processing algorithms and deep learning models, providing both strong humanitarian value and practical applicability.
A standout feature of the system was its two-way processing capability – it not only converted sign language into text and speech but also simulated sign language from text or speech. This innovation effectively bridged communication gaps that many existing solutions had failed to address.
Obtaining this patent marked a significant milestone for Mr. Duc, as it formally recognized his years of dedicated research. It affirmed that the solutions he developed were not merely theoretical but had the potential to make a real-world impact. The patent also highlighted the growth of the URA research team, whose members were committed to advancing academic, scientific, and technological value in the university setting.
This achievement served as a source of pride and inspiration, motivating the other team members to continue pursuing innovative research and making positive contributions to society. URA will not stop here but will continue to push forward, striving for even greater achievements.
