        amazing time at hashtag#startupweekendsingapore and placed
        second as a team. Very thankful to be with Jerry Tan Si Kai,
        John Goh, Hyunjung Kim (Cathy Kim), Xinwei Huang. We prototyped
        Outspoken to translate sign language to text/speech, which can
        potentially benefit those with hard of hearing to use sign
        language as their first language to express themselves
        confidently and comfortably. Also thanks to the help of mentors
        and friends Mark Lven Palejaro and Albert Puah. SWSG Mega is a
        very well organised hackathon (and imo has top-notch design) and
        brings the best experience for all!"</p>

      <p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;">They know about
        SignWriting, but they currently use spoken language text, rather
        than sign language text. Their focus on machine learning has a
        lot of potential when applied to SignWriting text.</p>

      <p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;">The second
        project is an academia group with dissertations, thesis, and a
        starting infrastructure. Their central concept is CORE-SL, a
        linguistic structure for defining sign language. They have
        mapped out their system which includes real-time and
        bi-directional processing. These future subsystems depend on
        their core structures. Their next PHD thesis defense is coming
        next month I believe.</p>

        and have a few key differences.<br>
