Google DeepMind released SL2T, a multilingual sign-language-to-text model that brings sign-language dictation to consumer products. SL2T starts with American Sign Language to English on Pixel 11 in Live Transcribe and in Gboard beginning August 12, 2026. The update changes use for Deaf and hard-of-hearing people by letting them sign instead of typing for phone tasks like messages, search, and Gemini queries.
